Interesting topical; but I notice a few of these chickens are pheasants. Not that I'm complaining; interesting to look at. I find this WWI-era advert interesting...  The US Chicken Stamp (posted on page 1 of this thread by JamesW) is often called ugly or useless, but I think at the time the poultry industry was quite important to the economy.  |

Well, I thought I'd laid an egg with this thread, way back when, but it's nice to see you all (especially KuoLC5310) have flocked together to make it fly! Thanks! Here's a chicken on a 1921 German cinderella.  |

A rooster and clover are appropriately featured on these 1923 municipal revenue stamps (visitors' tax) from Hahnenklee (Braunschweig), Germany. Hahnenklee = Chicken clover. In January 1923, the hyperinflation was really heating up, so 100 or 200 marks was not a great deal of money.  |
