Suddenly a chicken appeared! Or more specifically a hen, a french hen. It occurred to me that maybe the merry wobbler sewing pattern could be modified to make a hen – and it can!

Both are super simple – find the template and instructions below after lots of hen pictures – I couldn’t help it – I love them.
You can download the template for the nest box and hen parts here.
