Chickens?

[Froggy the Great]

Reaper has a townsfolk pack with chickens in it, which you can buy by the sprue:

Matakishi had mentioned the Amazon chickens at Frother's. He had even posted a picture.



And then there is Mirliton, which I've seen in the flesh and quite like. They look a bit rough on the picture but painted they looked great.

I used those for my LPL5 Smut Valley Cattle Market. I am not very keen on them, a tad to crude and mono-pose. The Pegasus Hobbies set look like the shit, IMO.

Now my problem is too many chickens. I have no idea which ones to get.

I can hear the manufacturers:

"All of them!"

Geez! I guess with a name like Honey Badger you gotta be tough.  

"Fuck you, bee! I want that honey! Give it up or I'll rip you a new asshole!" 

There's a clip on youtube of a honey badger going head to head with a leopard. It behaves like it's from the worst parts of New Jersey.

It must have some Piney blood in it then. You don't mess with residents of the Pine Barrens.

I got mine from caliver books if that helps:)

Damn it!  There are not TOO many chickens.  These are all 25-28 mm.  Where the hell are the ones in 15 mm? 

Okay, well, Museum Miniatures does have some and I did get some but you Big Boy boys are spoiled for choice - even for chickens!

Caliver books, eh...? They are on my shitlist.

I hate to say it but the average chicken in your average developing world country looks nothing like the average plump egg layer found  elsewhere and thus not a lot like the Architects of War versions. At least the ones I've seen haven't. They tend to a rather lean rangy look. Wiry looking racing chickens. But as these are toys or tokens I suppose anything is cool.

Dunno whether they are widespread across Africa but there's a rather peculiar but not unattractive breed found in Angola. They have these in Brazil too where they are called galinha d'Angola, literally Angolan Chickens.

You know, I think you can take the search for accuracy a little too far. I'm not really all that bothered if my chickens are too fat, as long as they look like chickens.  

Besides, apart from the red robes and war paint this Masai chicken here looks no different to me to the Welsh ones that I remember growing up on a farm in my youth.




Their coops are a little different, though...



Masai walker for VSF, anyone?

Take it Plynkes! my daughter caught a chicken for you!

[Hammers]

She already knows how to wring a chickens neck?! Awww, you brought her up well!

On a serious note, you have a darling daughter, sir.
