So nice to hang out with the ladies outside

Get it read to you by yours truly, grab a hardcover cause why not, and take the ebook on vacation when you visit a place swarming with feral chickens!

I’m so excited to be heading to the ABA Winter Institute today to get to talk about UNDER THE HENFLUENCE with wonderful booksellers from all over!

I loved this article on the ecological impacts of Australia’s dingo fence which is big enough it can be seen from space.

Thanks to high prices and shortages of eggs hatcheries and farm stores are already reporting demand for chicks that outpaces even what we saw during lockdown. It may seem natural to go straight to the source for eggs but I urge people to think more deeply before bringing home backyard chickens.

Think backyard chickens will solve your egg problems? Think again.

There are good reasons to raise chickens. Eggs isn't one of them.
