CHICKEN - EGG SITTERS

✿ ✿ ✿
Ready for some special egg cozies? Then come and get these funny chickens into your home and onto your breakfast table!

These Egg Sitters here are in chicken form and sit in a cozy nest.
Your egg is hidden inside the belly and kept warm until you’re ready to eat it. :)

Additional use: the Egg Sitters are not only a nice change on your breakfast table; they make for beautiful decorative items as well: on the table, the window sill, your shelfs…

Two comb versions bring some variation in larger flocks of chickens, but you can also play with colors as much as you like. Whatever you like goes. :)
