Once upon a flock - Lauren Scheuer

When Lauren Scheuer decided to
raise backyard chickens she never expected the adventures that followed or
the extent to which she would fall in love with them. Scheuer's chickens,
with their colourfully individual personalities, friendships and rivalries,
star in this charming story filled with quirky humour and occasional
heartbreak. We meet all the characters in the flock: Jenny, a chick who is as
easy to love as she is to laugh at, Hatsy, an elegant and adventurous leader,
and Lil' White, a chicken with the respectable comportment of a Southern
belle. Documenting the daily adventures of her chicken family, and their
subtle interactions with each other, with her own witty photos and
illustrations (all in full colour throughout). Lauren Scheuer comes to
realise that love, loss and passion are not only parts of the human
experience, but essential parts of chicken life as well. This is a must-have
for all animal lovers.
