For the Duchess, a Pot for Every Chicken By DAVID COLMAN

The exhibition of "Five Centuries of Collecting at Chatsworth" at the
Bard Graduate Center in Manhattan includes a pair of Belgian faience
hen tureens (complete with just-hatched chicks) -- of which there's a
terrific photo on the NYTimes site -- from a home/domestic poultry
farm/estate where the reigning Dutchess allows her white leghorns and
other chickens the run of the car park.
