Herald Bronner Esq.

We are back, just like "cluck-work", with a long overdue CHICKEN OF THE MONTH!!!!

Herald Bronner Esq. is the son of one of the most epic roosters to have walked the sands of Georgia, our recently departed Dr. Bronner. He has big taloned shoes to fill, but we are happy to report that he is a daft student and natural leader. He is displaying many of the characteristics that made Dr. B special. The egg does not fall far from the hen.

Herald was encouraged to go into law, and after passing the Georgia State Bar exam, he promptly alerted us that he would not practice law and would instead become a Head Rooster for the Hostel in the Forest.

Herald Bronner Esq. is a well rounded chicken. He enjoys philosophical debates around the campfire and fermentation. Our Hostel Manager recently taught him how to make various versions of kefir, and kraut. It is awfully convenient that our Hostel Fermentation Station is the neighboring building to our chicken coop duplex.

According to Diogenes Laërtius, when Plato gave the tongue-in-cheek definition of man as "featherless bipeds", Diogenes plucked a chicken and brought it into Plato's Academy, saying, "Behold! I've brought you a man", and so the academy added "with broad flat nails" to the definition. -via Wikipedia online.

Hark the Herald Rooster sings! Welcome to the Hostel in the Forest, and may your time here bring you peace, love and fulfillment. Your presence is truly a gift.
