Comments about Funky Chickens, Bill & Dottie:

I couldn't really tell from the picture that the funky chickens were painted metal. They looked ceramic, but I was really pleased to find them metal. They will not be as likely to be damaged in my garden. I have a "metal" section and a "farm" section. So, my biggest decision will be where to display them!

Just as good as the picture

The chickens are witty and well designed -- I don't use much in the way of garden ornaments, but I've long admired these and couldn't resist them when they were on sale. I hope that when they rust, the colors remain.

Comments about Funky Chickens, Bill & Dottie:

I've loved these items since they first appeared in catalog, but being on a budget couldn't order. When I saw this set on sale I HAD to get it. They look really cute in my garden peeking out from under some plants. I plan to add at least the baby chicks and maybe one other set as I expand the bed next Spring.

I haven't found any problems with the product. They anchor in the ground easily. They seem to handle getting wet well, no rust or problems.

Fun Chickies!

Comments about Funky Chickens, Bill & Dottie:

Bill and Dottie are subtle and fun. I live in the city and can't have chickens, but I do now!!!
They're not too big, more life size, so they fit right in. They provide a little surprise--where you least expect it. High quality, but low priced garden art! I waited till they went on sale-even better.

I would buy these again...

These chickens are pretty cute. I think that they are a little pricey. I think that I will probably repaint them next year. I thought from the pictures that the colors would be bolder. Texas sun is harsh.
