Brooder Hens

One of my favorite things to do this past year has been to make what I call "brooder hens." They are chicken-shaped cloth bags filled with field corn. You heat them in the microwave for two minutes, then apply to cold feet or aching muscles. In the wintertime it feels so good to put it on my feet while I sit in front of the television, or to take it to bed with me. I like to make them all different. Here are some samples.
