Last year as I
celebrated the first birthday of Randy’s Chicken Blog, I announced that the
blog had just achieved 10,000 views.
Now, a year later I’m just shy of 30,000 views and am happy to have readers
all over the US, as well as a variety of other countries. Some of you are faithful followers of my
Facebook page, but many folks have read a single post on a single topic and
found that post through Google. I love
my followers of course—each and every one of you, but I’m also happy to provide
information to those people trying to get an answer to one nagging question.
There have been, if
you include this one, 132 posts. All of them
are always available in the archives, and they have covered every aspect of a
chicken’s life from hatch to death. Some
posts stray off topic a bit to talk about the woods around the coop and the
wild plants and animals that live there, or a few good books about chickens that
I’ve read, or the treatment of chickens on farms, or well…life, the universe,
and everything!
The subjects of the
most popular posts cover that same wide range, from stories about specific
chickens to information about egg cartons.
Here are thumbnails of the ten most popular posts from the past year
with links to the actual posts. Thanks
for reading them and stay tuned for more!
On Halloween Day
last year, I posted this article about the mystery of the unusual chickens in
South America. It seemed to me that it
would fit with Halloween if I gave it an outer-space theme. Paulette the Cream
Legbar modeled as the alien chicken.
