It’s Fine Press Friday!
This week we’re highlighting our 1942 Nonesuch Press edition of French Naturalist writer Guy de Maupassant’s (1850-1893) most popular novel, A Woman’s Life. Translated into English by frequent de Maupassant translator Marjorie Laurie, this publication features an introduction from writer and critic Edmond Jaloux (1878-1949) along with delicately enchanting illustrations by Edy Legrand (1892-1970) which were hand-colored by commercial artist Charlize Brakely (1898-196?), who employed pochoir (stencil coloring) techniques similar to those commonly seen in Parisian fashion illustration. The work was planned and published in London by book designer Frances Meynell (1891-1975) and composed in Monotype cochin typeface by the New York Monotype Composition Company, with letterpress elements printed by Quinn & Boden Company. Meynell and Nonesuch press were known for using a small hand press (an Albion Press) in the design process and mechanical printing techniques in the production process to create books that emulated the quality of hand press publications.
De Maupassant’s work depicted the stratification of human experience across class divides in French society and portrayed the constraints of gender roles in the 19th century with sensitivity and depth. Though A Woman’s Life centers around the personal tragedies and mounting dissatisfactions of Jeanne (an upper-class heiress) it is balanced by characters like Rosalie, a single mother from the working-class peasantry whose own background and perspective on Jeanne’s privilege complicate a purely sympathetic view of her story.
Stéphane Brizé released a celebrated film adaptation of the work in 2017- you can watch a preview for it here.

Dipshit is outside again and immediately started escaping her coop again. I found her on the wrong side of the fence yesterday and she was there again today. She LOVES to play me for a fool and pretend she doesn’t know how to get in or out of the yard. Tho I couldn’t help but worry that she had been there all night, so I grabbed her and pulled her back over. I saw that her scab was peeling pretty badly, (pictured above) and I worry that the others hens had been pecking it, or worse yet, I peeled it when I pulled her under the fence. Dipshit is an intelligent and resilient soul, but I know that chickens (and bantams especially) can be fragile when they’re recovering from an injury. I considered bringing her back inside, but I really don’t want to separate her from the others for too long, as it could make it difficult to reintroduce her. I am out of bluecoat and am planning to get more. I’m really torn on what to do with her and would really like some advice from some other chicken keepers.
I’m tagging some people I follow and trust on the topic of chickens: @chicken-fluff-butts, @homeofhousechickens, @chickensarefriends, @allosaurusrock, @alcnfr
these are just off the top of my head, anyone knowledgeable of chickens is welcome to contribute.

Some of you may remember my chicken who needed surgery earlier this year, Big Juicy. Unfortunately, she was back at the vet today, and the news isn't great.
BJ's xrays revealed a soft tissue mass. It is either a tumor or at least one enlarged organ (most likely her liver.) She needs a CT scan to know for sure, which is very expensive. If it is cancer there is unfortunately no treatment available, and I will be working with the vet to make a plan for maintaining her quality of life as long as possible. However, if it is an enlarged liver there are about as many treatable options as not! So we really need a solid diagnosis as soon as possible to move forward.
So! A reminder every sale in the shop helps my girl! There are even BJ stickers if you just like chickens and not D&D.

Tizian, ein neuer Prachtkerl im Hühnergehege und Hausherr im Stall! 🐔💫
#florianatopfblume #nordhessenzwerghühner #nordhessenzwergcochins #cochinzwerghühner
Unsere Hühner Familie hatte im Spätsommer Zuwachs bekommen!
Zoran, stolzer Vater, präsentiert täglich voller Freude seinen wunderschönen Sohn - den Zwergcochin Hahn Tizian.
Tizian hat so viel von seinem Vater geerbt - von seinem runden, pummeligen Körperbau über die tiefe Brust, dem schönen Kamm und runden Popo, bis hin zum herrlichen Farbspiel, das ihn im richtigen Licht facettenreich in allen Rottönen erstrahlen lässt.
Noch jung an Jahren, aber schon jetzt ein echter Prachtkerl!
Wir sind überglücklich, dass Tizian ein neues Zuhause mit eigenen Hennen und genug Grünlauf gefunden hat.
Mögen seine Tage von Liebe, Freude und vielen kleinen Küken gesegnet sein!
Danke, Tizian, dass Du uns so viel Freude bereitest. Diesmal fällt es nicht schwer, Dich gehen zu lassen, weil ich weiß, dass Dein neuer Besitzer genauso stolz auf Dich sein wird wie ich es bin.

Question for other chicken owners
I've been looking at different breeds to add to my flock in the future and a few breeds I like have feathered feet. Do feathered feet birds require a lot of extra care?? Are they worth the hassle??

This is Dipshit
Dipshit has been escaping her coop for the last few weeks and we have no clue how. None of the other chickens have been escaping, only her. Today, one of our dogs got a hold of her. She’s fine; our dogs are old and don’t have any teeth so she’s just a bit gnawed on and wet. We love Dipshit.
She does have one battle wound. The injury is pretty tame but ive put it under the cut because there is some blood.
I’m going to give her a good cleaning tomorrow after school to get the dog slobber out of her feathers and clean the wound. Tonight I’m just going to let her rest from her perilous day.
