Sometimes, the tabby cat likes to pretend she’s in charge. But at Biscuit Creek Farm, everyone knows it’s Maud who really rules the roost. A middle-aged Rhode Island Red with a larger-than-life personality, Maud watches over her flock with all the nurturing qualities of, well, a mother hen.
But life on the farm isn’t always sunshine and chicken feed. Sometimes, life gets a little crazy and throws some disruptions in the way—and sometimes, it’s a matter of simply learning to live and work together as a team.
Drawn to Biscuit Creek Farm by its reputation for amazing eggs, author Cynthia Ziegenhirt had the privilege of sitting down and interviewing Maud and her feathered flock about their years of adventures on the farm. The result is a series of three short stories that will have you smiling, clucking, and sometimes even shedding a tear—each one with a very special lesson to teach about life.
So join Maud, Earl Figbert IV, and the rest of the barnyard crew, and let your imagination run wild—and enjoy an “eggcellent” collection of tales demonstrating courage, compassion, and heroism beyond all odds.
