There are some quirky and delightful chicken blogs out there, and reading them is a great way to gain insight on chicken keeping.  Here are a few of my personal favorites:

Ever think about leaving the corporate world and moving to the serene countryside to enjoy the benefits of farm life?  Suzanne McMinn did just that:  she packed her kids in the car and moved to a very rural part of West Virginia to rediscover her roots . . . and in the process, they all discovered so much more.  Share Suzanne's adventures ~ including her current project of raising chicks in her blog entitled  Chickens in the Road.  (This is one of the most beautifully-designed blogs you will see.  Guaranteed!)

One of my very favorite blogs, this UK jewel is one of my inspirations.  I want to live in a 16th-century English cottage too!!!  I could place the Cottage Smallholder in many categories, as the food and miscellaneous writings cover a wide range of interesting and homey topics.  Susan's journey toward self-sufficiency is an inspiration to us all.

Rooster Hill Farm has a nice blog coming to us live from new York State.  There is plenty of farm fun here, and I check out the photos and weather information here every time I want to be grateful I no longer live in the icy north.
