Thank you so much, Janet. I’m touched. Bartering with eggs is such a nice idea. Since it’s just two of us now I often have a refrigerator positively rolling with eggs.

I just discovered your website and have to tell you I love this post. It stirred sweet childhood memories in me. Although I’ve not kept chickens as an adult, many in my in-town neighborhood are building roosts and offering eggs as barter, and I love it. Your site is gorgeous and inspiring.

Nina,
Thank you so much for writing. You’ve made my day. I can’t imagine how you found my website. Merry Christmas to you and your family, and best wishes. Your aunt is my culinary hero.

Toooo sweet! I am Edna Lewis’ niece Nina; my daughters and I got a kick out of this website and the little chick named “Edna!” We are getting ready to fly to Virginia to spend Christmas with Aunt Edna’s 87 year old sister Ruth who still raises chickens, quail and guinea fowl from the egg – I can’t wait to hear the sound of the chicks chirping in a box in her kitchen!! Merry Christmas!

I know. People who don’t have chickens often look at me a little quizzically when I say what funny personalities they have, but it’s true. I just returned from a trip to California, and they greeted me loudly for about ten minutes, each in their distinctive voice.

I love that you put so much thought into their names and detailed all their personalities…they are beautiful! I have 6 hens. And their individuality, their personalities…all of it…just so much fun. I can’t imagine *not* having them now. I wish more people had them!

If not before Sunday, then perhaps that night when we return from the foraging dinner… You and Anji are welcome anytime. And Bill, Andy, and Allie If they’d like to come, too. xo

I’m sad not have seen them up close and personal yet!

Thanks, Winnie. Yes, I knew it might happen. So sorry you lost two. And to your dog. It’s hard to forgive them their natures, isn’t it. When the other chicks started attacking her it took me a couple of days to let it go.

They are SO precious and I love their names! I am so sorry about Alice, but sadly, it happens. I lost 2 of mine to one of my dogs last summer
