During stressful times in our careers, my friend Ginger (who onceresided in Kansas) would mention that we should run off to
Mendocino and raise chickens. She has not yet read the article
by Susan Orlean in the Sept. 28th issue of the New Yorker, but
I will save it for her.
It's fascinating. Backyards across the country are filling up
with chickens! Many of us have never tasted a really fresh egg.
There are a lot of websites and helpful hints on the internet
and people love their chickens. Maybe we will see some on
the lawn at the White House one day.
The author ordered the Eglu® which was invented by some
college students in London. They had to do some sort of design
project and the mother of one said, "invent a better chicken
coup", and they did and now they are millionaires.
