Hi everyone! :)
I recently got more chickens and have already encountered something I've never seen before. My Silkie hen had a very large beard and recently it turned to dreadlock/calcified clumps. I examined her and found a few mites, so I bathed her and checked again. After not finding...
Here is the paperback link for you!

I hope you like it! Let me know what you think! I just took Peanut into an elementary school and read the book to a ton of kids. In all, my chicken got petted by 250 kids and he was a saint the whole time :-)
Last year, I decided to bite the bullet and write a children's book about my pet silkie chicken. It took about 6 months and quite and investment on my part. But it was sooo much fun and I love knowing that Peanut (my chicken) is now in a book :-) I expected to publish this on amazon and make a...
Wow I'm so happy to hear that!! It's so exciting when other people enjoy it as much as I have :-)
I actually got some fantastic news today about it too... the local Barnes and Noble has asked me to come visit as a featured local author and they want to sell the book in the store too! I'm...
Haha, well if I could sell more copies it would be great! But, yeah, I'm having a ton of fun just doing it! It isn't something I ever thought I would get to do.
So I had something exciting happen today.. a local school approached me and asked if I would come promote my book there! They are even asking me to bring Peanut along!
Okay so I treated him for mites (still can't find any on him)
Heres the kicker though.. now he's going bald from broken features on his front in places that he cannot reach.. I should also mention that he is the only chicken so he isn't being attacked. I don't know what to do :(
I've checked him over constantly for mites but maybe I'm just not seeing them. I'll treat him anyway and see what happens. It has definitely been a super hot summer. I've done by best to always keep cold water out for him and get him wet when need be.
For the last few months, my silkie has been scratching off the features on both sides of his neck. Recently it has gotten much worse. I've tried washing the area several times in case the skin was irritated but that did not help.
He did this minimally last summer but then quite when winter...
It's not as hard as you'd think but it did take an investment. I basically wrote it, then hired someone to illustrate it, then formatted the book, then published it on my own through my publishing company :-)
Oh cool! I was just gonna say that I could just ship you one myself :-) I'm about to order in a bunch!
Let me know what you think when you get it! I'm trying to decide if the interior pages are too light.. I may need to darken them up a bit.
It is on paper There is a kindle and a paper version: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=peanut+the+fuzzy+chicken
