So a while back an author whose social media presence often involves various critters from her farm (which I hugely enjoy) threw out an idea. Quarantine is boring. Life is stressful. We should do something.
Being authors, she proposed we write. With chickens. And humor.
I was all in.
What came out of that prompt was an anthology full of twenty authors, and a whole bunch of funny chicken stories. They are fiction, non-fiction, science fiction, fantasy, you name it, it’s probably in here.
Besides, it has chickens in funny stories. Need I say more?
My story contribution to this involves a massive technical glitch on a space station, the entire flock of chickens on the run, and I got to write the line “as a vortex of chickens swirling…”
So what are you waiting for? This is so much better than watching the news *shudder* or dwelling on the ‘new normal.’ Grab a copy of Cracked and let us whisk you away into a world where humor and disaster walk hand in hand! With chickens underfoot.
When you’re done, leave us a review. If enough people like it, we’ll do this again. I have some really awesome ideas.
Oh, and it also inspired the art I’m using as a header image, which you can get on T-shirts through my shop! I love chickens, can’t you tell? (and if you can’t see the sarcasm dripping there, do read my story in the anthology!)

We have chickens, too – the latest flock are Red Sex-Links, gotten from a farm out east of San Antonio.
Lovely girls, and they are about to start producing…

All my chickens are in the past now. I go visit my Mom’s chickens when I miss them! Sex-links are great layers, you should be very happy with them. We had a lot of heritage breeds, but you can’t beat them for consistent egg production.
It’s now on the Kindle, and just like that, you’ve broken through the shell of boredom and ennui!
Hopefully you get plenty of yolks and yucks!
As you can see from my comment time, I had trouble sleeping and my brain is ………………..fried!
Better than hard-boiled! Or worst yet… pickled.
If enough people like it, we’ll do this again.
Just asking to be… egged on, huh? ♉
