Like falling leaves, the tears just simply come when you are walking out the mailbox, cooking dinner, spending time with loved ones.…

How Much Should I Be Feeding My Backyard Chickens?

November 7, 2018

I actually get this question quite a bit. So, it seemed only prudent to write a post about chickens and their eating habits. By now, I’m sure that you have figured out that chickens know what they like. They also are sometimes hesitant to try new things, like the time I plopped a whole pumpkin…

Discovered: A Secret Nest in the Window Box

May 25, 2018

Beautiful annuals that usually spill from the window boxes on the front of my home were also delayed. The window boxes lay dormant and lifeless. Still filled…

Chicken Language: Listen to Common Chicken Vocalizations

April 25, 2018

I’m having so much fun traveling and sharing my new book, How to Speak Chicken. I can’t tell you how many emails, messages, and in-person requests that I have received to create recordings of the chickens’ vocalizations that I share and “translate in my book”.

Happenings in the Nest

February 12, 2018

This week I was down with the flu. I guess I kind of knew that it would only be a matter of time. It seems so inevitable working among ill patients. I’ve spent the greater part of the past 2 weeks in bed. At first, lying there wishing that this would all just go away…
