I started making these as a three-year-old and was always so proud of the results!
Hard boil a dozen eggs. (Put eggs in saucepan of cold water, just to cover, and bring to a rolling boil. Cover. Turn off heat and let sit on warm burner for 12 minutes).
Slice eggs lengthwise and scoop yolks into medium sized bowl.
Mash 1/4 C mayonnaise, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp pepper, and 1/2 tsp dry mustard into the yolks.
Add more mayonnaise if needed to make a smooth but not dry or soupy consistancy.
Adjust seasonings to taste.
Cut 12 (1/4") rounds from large end of carrot with a crinkle cutter. Cut rounds in half.
With paring knife, cut 4 (1/4") rounds from large end of carrot; cut each into 6 wedges.
Mound each egg half with some of the yolk filling.
Place a crinkle carrot "comb" on top of mound.
Stick a small carrot wedge "beak", point out, in front of the mound.
Place a small frozen pea on either side of the "beak" to make "eyes"
Voila! Chickens!
