I would love to introduce to you my favorite candidate running for office this November.
Lucy lives with her fellow flock, a dog named Marky and a Chicken Mom named Lauren. She has wonderful credentials and plans to do a much better job than any of the other candidates out there. Lucy knows the issues and her platform is clear.
Lucy is running on the Scratch ticket.
She is a Barred Plymouth Rock; American Born, with family roots traced all the way back to the Plymouth Plantation.
Sporting a brain the size of a peanut, Lucy feels she has what it takes to take charge.
“I’m smart enough to run a Chicken Tractor, so I’m smart enough to run this country,” says Lucy.
She advocates for those with special needs like herself and her feathered sister, Fern.
Lucy endorses a sunset curfew. She also believes everyone should have access to warm sunshine and a daily dustbath.
“….And if elected,” quotes Lucy, “I will fight for every chicken’s right to ravage the vegetable garden.”
Lauren’s book, Once Upon a Flock – Life with my Soulful Chickens, will be published in March, 2013. In the meantime, head on over to Lauren’s blog, Scratch and Peck, to read more about Lucy. A good place to start is here.
If you would like your very own bumper stick to endorse Lucy for President, please send a self-addressed envelope to Lauren Scheuer-2 Fowler St.-Upton, MA 01568. I might suggest, asking about the availability before requesting a bumper sticker as supplies are limited.

Count my vote for Lucy too! Woot! Just what we need… A " Lady " in the White House!
Hey!! Lucy is the best BIRD BRAIN we have to choose from at this point!! Would love to see her scratch her way to the white house. She'd love working out in the garden!! Too bad and half surprised that the locals of the white house haven't built a hen house!!
Oh this is so funny! I have no doubt she'd be great!
I'm so glad you posted this! I had so much fun reading all her stories. I'd vote for Lucy! 😉 Lauren's illustrations are just awesome.
