We're Published!

The chickins and I picked up the Primer yesterday! I kept saying to the kids, "Isn't this so exciting, we're going to pick up our first book ever!" To which I heard from the back seat... "Bor-ing." I promised to deliver wedgies to all when we returned home.

The printers wanted to get us some copies so that we had some for this weekends festivities (see blog below) and will ship the rest later this week. I was to meet up with them at a Chick-Fil-A on the interstate (how appropriate!)

It stopped raining for a few minutes just before Terri arrived with the books - little bit o' loveliness, don't you think? The book is so beautiful, I was crying on the way home. I'm so very impressed with how it turned out. Thank you Don for the rockin layout!

It is so much more fun in person than I imagined it to be. The pages are really sturdy and the colors are so nice. Thank you Electric City Printing!

Chickin Feed overload – LABOR DAY WEEKEND FUN! Come join us

Howdy Folks!

If you are in the Atlanta area and want something fun to do this weekend (April 30/31, 2008), come join us at the Summer Shade Festival in Grant Park (home of the Chickin Coop). You can visit Grant Park on Saturday - hear some awesome music & taste some of the best food in town @ the Corks & Forks event. Then on Sunday come see us at the Decatur Book Festival. We will be on the Emerging Writers Stage Sunday at 2pm. We'll be playing a bit, experiencing a bit of drama and doing a little Food Q & A with prizes for the chickins! Click here for a full schedule of events. Check out lots of great things for the little chickins to do!

And get your copy of The Chickin Feed Primer | A useful companion for modern families! We'll be debuting the book at both festivals. If you are too far to come celebrate in person...we are offering an early bird special that expires Labor Day - check it out on our website!

Blog plans

Want to save the world? Yeah, me too...right after I stumble through another ADD ridden day of Chickin work, pick up the kids, shop for groceries, throw something together for dinner, try to do the dishes, some laundry & read a bedtime story.

There are so many things I'd like to get out of my head and into reality for this Chickin Company. On the horizon we have two simultaneous festivals over the Labor Day weekend 2008 (Decatur Book Festival & Summer Shade Festival). There is also the super cute Chickinware that's rumbling around in the hopper, several other new products being hatched, get Chickin Feed into a few more stores around the country (photo is from one of our "Chickin shacks"...Harris & Clark in the Serenbe Community), talk of expanding Chickin Feed into a couple other countries, getting my little chickins to blog about their favorite foods and setting up our CERTIFIED Chickin Feed program.


We would love to communicate more with the folks in our Feed Mill - please email me, leslie@chickinfeed.com if you'd like to get on the email list! And we love to get photos of your chickins if you'd like them posted on the web and your feedback!


Make sure to have some fun with your chickins!

Hello from Mother Hen

Howdy! Just got around to setting up the Chickin Blog. I think I know what I'm doing :) It seems to be pretty idiot-proof. I bet I can mess it up though! Hope you will tune in to see what's going on with the Chickin Coop, find out where we'll be and maybe exchange some tips about how to feed your chickins. Got FeedBack? visit our website & drop us a line! www.chickinfeed.com








UPCOMING
We have a very busy Labor Day weekend planned and would love to see some of our Feed Mill - please come visit us at one of two festivals in Hot-lanta.

It's here! Hot-off-the-press, The Chickin Feed Primer, A useful companion for modern families will make it's debut at none other than the Decatur Book Festival in downtown Decatur. The Chickin Feed booth will be right in the heart of the festival between the bandstand the Target Activity Tent. Very close to the Little Shop of Stories & Children's Stage.



Additionally, we will be celebrating our one-year anniversary! at the Summer Shade Festival in Historic Grant Park. Our Nutrition Tracking Boards hatched just one year ago, at this wonderful "shady" family festival that we call home.

We'll be offering several freebies for the chickins including Chef Chick Sheri Davis' signature Rosemary Popcorn or "chickin feed" *while supplies last:). We also have some Chickin-toos (little tattoos) and lots of other goodies including the Primer.
