These are actually mostly knit (on a machine) and only some of the parts like the eyes, hands and feet are crocheted. You'd have to be a super masochist to crochet the whole thing!

We keep it simple with using only dried bread cubes, mixed with onions and celery that have been sauteed in lots of butter, then moistened with chicken stock and seasoned with salt and pepper. My in laws make the half-scratch version from above, using Stove Top and adding stuff to it. Also, I generally have always considered stuffing to be cooked in the bird while dressing is cooked separately.

Awesome! I live near this house and we drive down this street on the way home just to check out this coop and occasionally spy some chickens! I am most curious about the tripod of logs though!
