Another Giant Chicken in Pittsboro

LaNelle Davis, artist, and Steve Carr, building owner, are creating a giant chicken mosaic made out of mirror tiles, at the corner of the building at Rectory and West street in downtown Pittsboro, NC.   The building was once a chicken hatchery.

Materials have been donated by local and regional artists, and LaNelle, who has created mosaics all around the area, is donating her creative energy and time.

Here are the finished pictures!

The rooster is the second half of the chicken mural. He is on a wall that is perpendicular to the wall that has the hens.

Giant Chickens in Pittsboro

I first saw the 9-foot tall chicken at French Connections in Pittsboro a year ago, and I keep going back to study it. Maybe one day it will move to my house, but not yet.

(We’ll get a picture with a person in it to show scale next time we’re at the shop.)

I visited the Giant Chicken today to discover he had new friends, just arrived from across the ocean.

A pair of smaller chickens. The taller one is six feet tall. French Connection, Pittsboro, NC.

These two chickens are about six feet and four feet tall, respectively.
