Ruth, I don’t have any chicken potting planters at this time. Best to scour flea markets, collectible shops, garage sales in your area. I find that you usually find a treasure, when you least expect it. Vintage chicken feeders of all types and sizes also make wonderful potting planters. Thank you for your comment…VintageGardenGal

I’ve been looking for a unique chicken potting planter. It does not have to be vintage, even though I prefer it. It is for a gift. Do you sell any? The Succulent Potted Vintage Hen is beautiful.

Thank you.

Steve,
Try calling Solana Succulents mentioned at the end of that particular post. I know they don’t do mail order, but they might know of a source in LA. Also try googling, Palomar Cactus and Succulent Society, they are a cactus and succulent garden group in San Diego County, but might be able to refer you to someone in your area as well.

Thanks for your great comment….VintageGardenGal

I’m curious as I’ve been looking to buy a Smicrostigma viride as you show in your hen planter but not been successful in locating any vendors in the past two years or so. There is one seller on eBay that commands a very high price for them ($30-40 + range) and posts them only once in a while. I live in the Los Angeles area. Steve
