I really like them, especially the rooster. Roosters and chickens are a popular selling item and I bet that one will sell first, although the others are also cute.
Old tools make a good medium for crafts. I've long admired the big cross cut saws that are painted. My favorite one hung in the day room of a nursing home where I worked. It was the same scene, that blended into each season as you looked across it. I've seen other saws painted nicely, but that one always caught my eye.
Another thing I've seen done, and maybe you have also, is animals made from old tools like rakes, shovels, etc.
I admire your talent.
