Mountain Chicken Roundup by Ruby Grandin

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


Odd the things you randomly decide to read.

So I'd read both Bridget Essex and Natalie Vivien before, but have not read any of the other authors listed on their publishing website (Rose and Star Press). So I just looked at their profile pages on Goodreads and noticed that this specific one had three stories on Kindle Unlimited (third is a combination of 4 other previously published short stories).

So I decided to try the chicken one. Since it's super short. And apparently involves chickens.

Synopsis: Delia Carpenter goes for a walk in Maine. Comes across a chicken by the side of the path. Collects the chicken and brings it to a ranger station only to find more chickens (and an 'incredibly attractive new ranger'). The new ranger, Avery Harper, and Delia Carpenter then go out on a quest to gather up more chickens.

... So, Delia was born in Michigan and is named after a favorite cow. .... likes baby sheep, lambs, though adult sheep are stupider than dirt . . . so goes on walks near a sheep farm near her home and job in Maine . . .

This is a really random stream of conscious story. Really way too many words to convey the idea that a woman went walking and came across chickens. Shesh. And I haven't even got to the chickens yet. .... talks to herself . . . what said could have been funny but flatly delievered (like rest of story) . . . Delia late
thirties, Avery looks same age as Delia.

Cute quick story.
