Lovely read. After hearing chicken-rearing stories from my father’s experience in the 1940s, the task seems less than desirable. Thanks to your husband’s tenacity, your children’s egg knowledge is vast, much like my own father! As for marketing, there’s a chicken place in Seattle named Bok A Bok!

Dear Sarah, so appreciate your perspective on all things around brand, trends and consumption. As one who likes to admire others backyard chickens (our place out on the North Fork of Long Island NY has a number of folks who have backyard chickens) I'm fine with admiring them as I do others' pets. Cute, though, no thanks to come live in my backyard. On the pet front, I got worn down with having cats a number of years ago. I was definitely the hold out in my family. After 15+ years, along with a variety of cats that have come and moved on (as in the rainbow bridge journey) I've come to accept the creatures as enhancing my life (aside from the litter box scooping and the occasional fur-ball gift.. ) Keep writing!!
