What do Show Chickens have to do with Dragons? Everything! — 12 Comments

  1. Being a chicken keeper, I especially enjoyed this. My last flock was savaged by a pack of three coyotes who managed to rip out a large segment of the fencing. I am not replacing them until May, when I will have the new enclosure fortified. In the meantime, I am missing my beautiful girls, some of which were show birds, so every chicken post makes me more determined to protect the next batch, which will include 15 ornamental layers.

    • I remember about your chickens Linda! Coyotes are rather frightening. They are just one reason why I don’t let my cats outside. The neighbors have lost pets to them.

      I’d love to see pictures of your new flock. What kind are you planning to raise? Don’t be surprised if I turn to you with chicken questions though!

  2. Something in Spanish came to mind when I read this post, but I don’t think a part of it will ever make sense to you, so I will refrain from writing it here.

    This was a super interesting post, full of unnecessary, but riveting, information. Thanks for the long hours spent researching.

    Hurry with the next chapter please! And have mercy on me and let a lighting bolt fry Mr. Collins!

    • LOL! I know some expressions just don’t translate, do they?
      That’s me, by the way, the queen of unnecessary but fascinating information!
      Unfortunately I need Collins later in the story, so he’s got to hang around for a while yet…

  3. Thoroughly enjoying this variation – A cross between PP and Anne McCaffrey’s Dragonriders of Pern series. And the research makes it a more believable universe – if only – so do please continue.

  4. I am so NOT a bird person. I hate the things unless there’s a window between us or they’re up in the sky. Combine seeing the scariest scene from Hitchcock’s The Birds on television when I was about five with a Rhode Island Red who was mean as sin and did his darndest to keep me from gathering eggs when I was six. (Big Red has a good 3-4 inches on me in height and probably had a weight advantage as well.) Add that to cracking said eggs about six months later and plopping a perfectly-formed-but-dead black chick into the family-sized mixing bowl while making Sunday morning scrambled eggs.

    So I hate birds.

    But I know where you can get the dragon books: at Hogwarts! Didn’t Hagrid check out some books while he was awaiting the hatching of Norbert? Well, there you go, Maria! All the dragon books you could want, all right at your fingertips!

    Warmly,
    Susanne 🙂

    • I would never had guessed you were anti-bird! LOL. Those experiences do sound traumatizing though.

      I tried at Hogwarts, but you have to be a student or a professor to have a library card and they didn’t need a psyc professor. So I was out of luck. 😉

  5. Your show chickens look like something Caroline Bingley would wear on her head. Maybe Lady Catherine, too. Love the long black tail feathers. WOW. What a beautiful headpiece for a Goth bride.

  6. I love the show chickens! Had no idea such a thing existed. And I love that a random question and some time on the internet can get us down so many rabbit holes! This is a great series and I look forward to the next release.
