WILMINGTON, DELAWARE, UNITED STATES, September 1, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ — The Rooster Diaries, launched today, blends humor, wisdom, and practical advice, making it a must-read for anyone eager to raise chickens in their backyard.
Caroline Hurry, unsettled by the treatment of chickens in factory farms, shares her two-decade backyard fowl-keeping journey. The narrative, cleverly delivered by Smart Alec, a witty and philosophical cockerel, is sure to keep you engaged and entertained.
The charming King of the Heap offers fresh and hilarious perspectives on the trials of coop life and human behavior. His sharp observations on mortality and the natural order bridge chicken-keeping with suburban folklore in an entertaining, thought-provoking way.
Whether you’re interested in keeping hens for fresh eggs or becoming more conscious about your food choices, Smart Alec has the inside scoops on coops, food, and egg production. Rooted in southern African traditions, The Rooster Diaries provides tips on managing a flock, ensuring high egg production, and creating a sustainable environment for your hens.
“I wrote The Rooster Diaries to create more awareness of animal sentience in an entertaining and thought-provoking way,” says Caroline Hurry. “While the plight of poultry remains dire, Smart Alec’s humorous narrative brings much-needed fun and awareness. I hope readers not only laugh but also reconsider their views on animal welfare.”
