I met Mike two years ago when he came over to my house on business. As he was leaving, he inquired about the chickens in the yard. Of course, I had to take him over to the coop, introduce him to the girls and give him my 15 minute schpeel on the glory of keeping…

June 17, 2011

As I walked up the gentle slope of Deb’s garden, my eye caught a glance of her barn red chicken coop tucked quietly into the corner of the backyard.
