Just Us Chickens is an artist cooperative located in Kittery, Maine since 2005.

Our shop offers a welcoming environment where you'll find unique, handcrafted artwork and small-batch products made by over 30 local artists.

April in the Coop

April is here, and our chickens are clucking with joy! During the first full month of spring, we refresh the shop with new art featuring the beauty of the season and we pay homage to our shop’s mascot — the amazing chicken!

Golden Eggs are Back!


When our chickens lay golden eggs, customers get a discount! Throughout April, find hidden eggs in the shop, bring one to checkout, and receive a surprise discount on your purchase.

Welcome to our newest member

Heidi Stein

Hand Sculpted and Cut Glass

Heidi creates distinctive glassworks that exemplify artistry and refinement. Each piece is hand shape from molten glass and then further enhance it through the cold-working (faceting) process. The whole process allows for the creation of endless patterns, swirls, bubbles and shapes inside and out - ensuring that no two pieces are ever alike.
