As custom home builders, we have been in the first wave of the economic crash. This is our story... told through the aroma of Chicken Lore learned from our adventures with www.TheFeatheredEgg.com, and spiced with real information about life falling over the economic hairy edge. The posts appear newest first - click on February to start from the beginning - and are a combination of Whassup Now and Whassup 1 Year Ago.....&lt;/p&gt;</subtitle><link rel="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#feed" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.thefreerooster.com/feeds/posts/default" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://www.thefreerooster.com/" /><author><name>Corinne Tippett</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02806138998271099969</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail" width="26" height="32" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A68p0RP-k9c/SjvZyLU7ZQI/AAAAAAAAAKg/1_xPH5z3Ibo/S220/Corinne2.jpg" /></author><generator version="7.00" uri="http://www.blogger.com">Blogger</generator><openSearch:totalResults>2</openSearch:totalResults><openSearch:startIndex>1</openSearch:startIndex><openSearch:itemsPerPage>25</openSearch:itemsPerPage><atom10:link xmlns:atom10="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom" rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/TheFreeRooster" /><feedburner:info uri="thefreerooster" /><atom10:link xmlns:atom10="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom" rel="hub" href="http://pubsubhubbub.appspot.com/" /><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;CEEAQXk_cCp7ImA9WhBSEEs.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5698470625529698421.post-2163511215641259972</id><published>2013-02-16T16:52:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2013-02-16T16:57:20.748-08:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2013-02-16T16:57:20.748-08:00</app:edited><title>Just A Couple Of Chickens is available in E-Book format!</title><content type="html">&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
While it has always been my vision to have my book in my hands, and in the hands of my cherished readers, as a &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/Just-A-Couple-Of-Chickens/dp/0984361103/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top" target="_blank"&gt;real book&lt;/a&gt;... I plunged in and swam my way upstream in the tech flood that is e-books.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
I'm starting to dig e-books, but last night my battery died and I really was bent out of shape. I love real books. I love the paper and the covers and their presence. I love librarys and bookstores and stacks and stacks of books.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I do love the e-reader devices. They are so swish and cool. I am amazed that I can change the font, size, margins, background color, and screen brightness. But I need to remember to plug in my darn book. It's a new world and it doesn't work well when I misplace my charger.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Just A Couple Of Chickens in just a couple of formats.&lt;br /&gt;

I started blogging at The Free Rooster on February 16th, 2009 and now it is time to bring these roosters some different freedoms for 2013.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I'm in the process of pulling these roosterliscious posts into a blook (&lt;a href="http://wp.me/p1waUB-rz" target="_blank"&gt;a blog that becomes a book&lt;/a&gt;) to preserve all the handy information inside - as well as the stunning and compelling photos.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I'm looking forward to presenting new projects at &lt;b&gt;www.TheFreeRooster.com&lt;/b&gt; and taking my writing, website-ing, egg and feather business, and marketing projects to new heights.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Come follow me at &lt;a href="http://www.thewestchesterpress.com/"&gt;www.TheWestchesterPress.com&lt;/a&gt;, where I am blogging about How To Self Publish A Book&lt;br /&gt;
and&lt;br /&gt;
Just A Couple Of Chickens&lt;br /&gt;
and&lt;br /&gt;
When No-One Else Would Fly (the biography of Col. C. J. Tippett)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
and to &lt;a href="http://www.thefeatheredegg.com/"&gt;www.TheFeatheredEgg.com&lt;/a&gt;, where I am blogging about egg art and what to do with blown eggshells for crafts&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
and to &lt;a href="http://www.naturalfeathers.com/"&gt;www.NaturalFeathers.com&lt;/a&gt;, where I am blogging about feathers and feather art, the feathers of www.TheFeatheredEgg.com.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Keep blogging, my fellow-bloggers! &amp;nbsp;I love reading your posts... and together we are creating an incredible resource of information, art, and culture.&lt;br /&gt;
