small easter chicken cover for an egg
A novelty egg cover shaped like a cartoon chicken, designed to sit over a standard large egg (about 2.25 inches tall). The body is a squat oval shell with a rounded back and flat bottom opening. The head is a smaller sphere, slightly flattened where it connects to the body. A tiny cone beak and three small flat comb pieces on top. The tail is a small fan of overlapping oval feathers. The whole cover sits on the table with the egg inside, so the bottom is open.
