Does anyone else stop and re-read book passages that mention chickens, or rewind movies that show chickens to try to figure out the breed? Am I alone in this?
Ok, while I'm asking, has anyone here read "Animal, Vegetable, Miracle" by Barbara Kingsolver? Can someone PLEASE tell me what kind of chickens Lily has? She obviously has Americaunas/Aracaunas/EE's because of the blue eggs, but what other breeds? I don't recall the exact description, but she mentions they lay well through winter, have broad breasts, and are dark?
Except for that one teasing section, it's an excelent book, Kingsolver divulges the breed of her turkeys, the types of pumpkins she grows, and her favorite kind of cheese to make. Why oh why couldn't she have just said the breeds of chickens? It realy shouldn't bug me so much, but...... it does.
