About this item

When longtime illustrator and lover of power tools Lauren Scheuer was looking for a project, she got the idea to raise backyard chickens. Her husband and teenage daughter looked on incredulously as coop sketches and chicken-raising books filled their New England home. But when the chicks arrived, the whole family fell in love with the bundles of fluff and the wild adventures began. Once Upon a Flock Life with My Soulful Chickens stars Scheuers backyard chickenswith their big personalities, friendships, rivalries, and secretsand the flocks guardian, Marky the terrier. The flock includes Hatsy, the little dynamo LilWhite, the deranged and twisted Buff Orpington Pigeon, the fixer-upper chicken and Lucy, the special-needs hen who bonds with Lauren and becomes a fast friend.
