Tough Competition


We don't know what judges look for in a chicken beauty pageant. So when we entered Frieda in the junior poultry show at the Tennessee Valley Fair, it was just for fun. And this was just as well, because she didn't win anything! However, we're sure she had fun meeting new feathered friends while hanging out in the display barn all week. When it was time to pick her up, our daughter was awarded a blue ribbon for her participation. And Frieda is still a first place bird to us.

Hen Publicity

We got interviewed by our local PBS station for a spot on hen keepers in the city of Knoxville. I was asked a few questions, and then my daughter was interviewed about her role as care giver to the hens. Thanks to the practice she's had starring in home videos, she was pretty comfortable in front of the camera! We're not sure how much of the material will be used, or when it will be aired, but we'll post it here once we find out.
