A very quick Myfanwy and Friend Special Edition for #NationalSnuggleAChickenDay

HT to @MaQuest and @art_history_animalia for the inspiration and source, responsibility as ever my own.

I feel like the snuggled chickens have a bit of attitude going on. There is definitely a backstory here.

I have just discovered (thanks to @MaQuest ) that it is #NationalSnuggleAChickenDay

I do have form, obvs., in chicken snuggling, but might need to do something new.

In the meantime... The Lady with a Knitted Chicken
