Roosters, hens and chicks are massed across this roosters, hens and chicks tapestry, drawn with the confident outlines of village weaving.
It is a companion to the larger rooster panel, Roosters and Hens.

- One of a kind: woven freehand, no cartoon behind the warp. It is the only one. The photographs show this exact piece.
On the wall
The tall format suits a narrow wall, a hallway, or the space beside a doorway or a staircase, and the two rooster panels can hang side by side. There is no sleeve or rod pocket. Hook-and-loop tape stitched to the top and a batten on the wall give a flat hang; a clip rail or a rod casing are alternatives.
On the loom
The birds are woven in handspun wool over a cotton warp, with no sketch behind them, so the outlines are the weaver's own. One end of the panel is finished with a fringe.
