Last weekend, I started doing photography for The Joy of Keeping Chickens. Author Jennifer Megyesi and I attended the annual Poultry Show hosted by the Northeastern Poultry Congress in West Springfield, Mass., to gather information and photographs for the book. It was great to see so many kids who are interested in raising and showing chickens.
Jillian Noble, 9, of Dracut, Mass., waits with her Modern Game chicken during the Junior Showmanship competition. Noble has been showing chickens for four years.
