ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

For many reasons this book owes its existence to the patience, persistence, and good humor of Ann Treistman of The Lyons Press. Many thanks also to Geoff Hansen for his photographs and friendship, and The Mountain School of Milton Academy in Vershire, Vermont, for the use of their space.

Many friends and acquaintances have shared their chicken experiences with me and helped in other ways, but I had particularly valuable assistance from Gerry Coleman, Alex Keats, Bob Machin, and Mary Hays.

Jay Rossier

Thanks are due to chicken farmers Carrie Maynard, Tom Powers and Lianne Thomashow, the Vermont Bird Fanciers Club, author Jay Rossier, and especially editor Ann Treistman at The Lyons Press.
