Instead of weeding through all the papers and bills and other things that have accumulated on my desk during the time my kiddo wasn’t in either camp or school, I did something a lot more fun. I got to talk to a bunch of people about my chickens.

At 8am Lou Manfredini and his camera crew came by to talk to me about backyard chicken keeping for an upcoming segment of his tv show HouseSmarts. Lou was a great guy, who at first, couldn’t talk about chickens without breaking up in laughter. After a while he seemed to be getting interested in chicken keeping and I could just see him visualizing the amazing coop he could build.

My girls performed well and I don’t think I was too “crazy chicken lady”, so I’m looking forward to seeing the segment. It should air on NBC on October 23rd, but I was told to check my local listings to see exactly when.

A little while later a photographer named Joshua Kristal came by to photograph my hens. This will go with an article being written for a new online magazine about South Brooklyn. I think it will be in their inaugural issue, but don’t have a date when that will come out yet.

Anyhow, my hens are so full of themselves with all the attention they got. I’m ready for them to start demanding lattes and bigger dressing rooms.
