NANCY LUCE (1814-1890) First "Crazy Chicken Lady"

I just discovered this reading a fictional murder mystery.

This is not fiction. She was a wonderful chicken lady who had a very hard life.

I never knew there was an actual historic chicken lady. I'm glad I do now.

Well isn't that something. Maybe her story will help those people who use chickens as therapy pets.

What an inspiration she is!

I guess there was a chicken lady many years ago, even before BYC

So long ago. I'm glad she had her hens.
