Hi,

‘The Crested Hens’ http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display/562
Thanks

There are other places to look for tunes
which often have chords. Try these that
I just found on JC’s Tunefinder:

Here’s another I found by Googling for
“Crested Hens chords” (without the quotes)

http://www.tiompanalley.com/index_files/tunes/CrestedHens3.pdf

This site even has learning mp3s with just
fiddle and just guitar to play along with.
(Though I don’t like his chords as much.)

Also, the same search led me to this page
which features no chords but an MP3 of the
tune on banjo played almost as a jig… kinda
neat. It also mentions the French name:
“Les Poules Huppées”.
