Useful Application

If you thought iPhone applications were just for playing games, playing music, or playing the field, guess again. Mother Earth News has recently made available the new Pickin’ Chicken app that describes seventy-five chicken breeds, and one hundred varieties, with an amazing 250 plus photo array. And that’s just the tip of the app so to speak. Once you’ve decided on the breed of chickens you want, with just a touch of the screen you can easily find information on caring for them, whether you want them to be egg or meat producers, or both, and if you happen to be new to the world of raising chickens there is also a glossary of poultry terminology and links to other helpful resources. I have to be honest and say that when it comes to technology such as the iPhone I pretty much let my hubby have that arena all to himself, but if there are going to be such practical, helpful, and truly useful applications like this to choose from he may just have to get used to sharing his precious two inch by four and a half inch portable communications device. Either that, or spring for one for me. Gee, I wonder if I can get that in turquoise?
