Jan Brett's chickens
This best-selling author-illustrator gives her tips on raising fancy fowl.
Slide 1 of 15
Author and chicken fanatic
Jan Brett's books have sold 35 million copies, but a stack of books is not what she unloads from the hatchback of her car at the American Bantam Association National Meet -- it's a trio of prizewinning Polish chickens. Brett, one of the nation's foremost author-illustrator of children's books, is a chicken fanatic and the winner of many awards for her fancy fowl.
Best known for her Ukrainian folktale, The Mitten, featuring a mole, rabbit, badger, bear, and a tiny brown mouse, Brett now incorporates chickens into many of her beloved books.

5/23/2010 08:06:52 PM Report AbuseAn outdoor chicken is a HAPPY chicken. She goes through alot of thought about keeping them indoors...neat idea about growing grass inside, but I think it's a bit overboard. Chickens LOVE to chase the little flying insects and RUN free through the grass...keeping them indoors is really cruel.
5/20/2010 05:35:22 PM Report AbuseWe have bought some of Jan's show chickens for our 10 and 5 yr. old children to show themselves. Jan has been absolutely wonderful in helping us get started. She is such a wonderful person. Showing chickens is one of the greatest things that we can do as a family and such a great learning experience.
5/11/2010 07:20:48 PM Report AbuseWe were very excited when our new issue arrived last week and saw Jan Brett's name on the cover! Our entire family enjoys Jan's illustrations in her books, as they are amazingly detailed. My husband and I grew up with chickens around, and just last month picked up a dozen chicks. Our children are thrilled. So how exciting to see that one of our favorite children's book authors has chickens, too! Thank you for a great article!
