No place here for chickens but it was one of my jobs when I was a kid to go get the eggs and get pecked by those nasty protective hens.
I get my chicken kicks from reading the poultry section of the Sandhill Preservation catalog. Glenn was Prez of the America Association of Heirloom Poultry, or some name like that and has close to maybe 200 breeds that he maintains and sells eggs for, I guess, I mean not for omelets.
And he describes each variety in detail and often discusses the genetics of a specific breed and what to select for.
So I lust after so many exotic ones, well, I do, but not here, not now.
Glenn was asked to write a book about heirloon poultry by Storey Publications, got the proof pages and by now has sent them back so that book should be out soon.
Finally, Ilove that upscale chcicken coop, I really do and I hope the birdies know how lucky they are.
