Welcome

Unlike the other hens at Little Pond Farm, Tillie isn't one to wait her turn to lay her eggs. And she's certainly not one to stay cooped up all day. Off she goes! Join Tillie on her first eggs-straordinary adventure. Come along as she explores the cozy world of Little Pond Farm -- and lays her eggs in the unlikeliest of places!

Little Pond Farm really does exist. You can watch the hens on the HenCam and read about life in the coop on Terry's blog. If you want to know more about keeping hens in your backyard, check out Terry's chicken keeping site. Enjoy!

Terry Golson has always loved animals, and animals have always loved her. When she was five, she was given a guinea pig. When she was ten, a dog adopted her, and about a year later her a cat jumped out of the woods and followed her home. For awhile, Terry rode horses for a living. She got her first chicken when a neighbor gave her a little hen named Buk-Buk, and Terry has had a flock of chickens ever since. For twenty years Terry was a professional cook and food writer, but one special hen inspired her to create Tillie Lays an Egg. The animals continue to give Terry ideas. More children's books are in the works!
