Calling all giant cast iron chicken experts...

There she is. She's 35" tall and about 75 lbs. Hollow inside. Comes from a very old estate in Kinderhook NY. I have not yet photo'd the bottom. I dont see any foundry mark, is there any other way to identify who made this. This would be a hen, right?

 

No answer because everybody's speechless.

 

Makes me feel like a dumb cluck.

 

I don't know anything about your hen but I do know it's pretty frickin' fantastic!

 

Like this one. Found other one at 22". Somehow doesn't seem to be antique to me.

I'd be afraid to run into her in a dark alley!
This is one fearless chicken!

 

Yeah, but you get the eggs.

 

The cast iron eggs would just roll around in my cast iron skillet.

 

??? There are Giant Cast Iron Chicken Experts...........??? Here ????

I've been on this site for a while....seen all the "what do u collect" threads....and the Secret Santa threads....and have yet to come across anyone who's field of study is focused in this area..

Why did the giant cast iron chicken cross the road ?

She was being chased by a Giant cast Iron FOX !!!!!

Heehehe!!!!!!!!

 

And the picture posted in #1 is the same picture as shown in the listing link posted by Brad #8. Another case of I'm curious about this thing I don't own?

 

And here I was thinking the question would be about FRYING a giant chicken in a cast iron skillet. Silly me.

 

THe one you see in the link is mine, I won that at auction a couple weeks back.

 

I think the one I picked up is very similar to this smaller one:

Not sure where Brad got the 22" from .... it says "Unpainted surface. With some lichen. Dimensions: H 35" x W 13" x D 26" Condition: Wear consistent with age and use." I too feel this is not vintage , but if I was wrong would not be the first time. Either way , you win for the biggest cast iron door stop !

 

Kind of amusing when you search for "cast iron chicken" ..... glad I did not search for a cast iron something else......lol......

What's underneath????

 

underwhelming beauty...
