Vintage Chicken Photographs: 30 Postcards

The pleasures of poultry keeping are nothing new, as these vintage photographs attest. Here you’ll find chickens in arms, on heads, in laps, underfoot, and even on a bicycle! The postcards are printed on high-quality, 5 by 7-inch card stock, and can be enjoyed in this book, or removed from the binding and sent to chicken-loving friends.

Available in The HenCam Store and select retailers. Wholesale inquiries welcome.

Unlike the other hens at Little Pond Farm, Tillie isn’t one to wait her turn to lay her eggs. And she’s certainly not one to stay cooped up all day. Off she goes! Author Terry Golson and photographer Ben Fink invite you to join Tillie on her first eggs-straordinary adventure. Come along as she explores the cozy world of Little Pond Farm—and lays her eggs in the unlikeliest of places!

The Farmstead Egg Cookbook

Eggs are back in style. They’re healthy, versatile and convenient – and organic eggs, or those from your own hens—are packed with flavor and nutrients and are now almost universally available. In this warm, welcoming cookbook, Terry Golson gives a taste of country life and a slew of ideas for how to use eggs in everyday cooking and to entertain friends and family. She makes the basics—how to buy, scramble and boil—fun, and provides seventy delicious recipes for old favorites and new creations. The Farmstead Egg Cookbook is interspersed with full-color photographs of the recipes and of Terry’s hens. This book is lovely enough to give as a gift and rich enough to be a shelf staple for any home cook.

The Farmstead Egg Cookbook is currently out-of-print, but is being revised and expanded and will be available in the spring of 2013 from Houghton Mifflin Harcourt.
