Funky Chicken

WHAT IS THAT?!

This chicken, one I hatched from my incubator this year from my own chicken eggs, just keeps getting weirder and weirder.

Here is what that chicken looked like a month ago.

At the time, I thought it looked like a part-Turken because it appeared to almost have a naked neck. My original chickens, the ones I hatched out of my incubator last year, came from eggs that were mixed breeds. I knew the farm they came from had a few Turkens. So when it came out of my incubator, from those chickens, I thought it must have some Turken in it.

Only its neck isn’t naked now.

The Slanted Little House

"It was a cold wintry day when I brought my children to live in rural West Virginia. The farmhouse was one hundred years old, there was already snow on the ground, and the heat was sparse-—as was the insulation. The floors weren’t even, either. My then-twelve-year-old son walked in the door and said, “You’ve brought us to this slanted little house to die." Keep reading our story....
