TCD Changes

Yes, today there was a blog makeover for The Chicken Diaries. It’s not over yet, because I’m darned if I can work out why the header image up top is butted over to the right a little. And some of the footer and sidebar stuff is not to my liking either. Why? Well you may [...]

SL Breedables | Update on the Status at TCD Barns

Some have commented on this blog’s absence over the last ten days or so. Most of that is simply due to Second Life itself – not allowing me in, or not allowing me to move around my own property let alone anywhere else. I’ve managed to get in and out a couple of times a [...]

Brandy Darkrose

I’m slightly over a year in Second Life. I personally came into Second Life for some writing opportunities, and consider myself passionate about breedable & AI animals (and plants) as a hobby, fantasy fashion, shopping, and I spend a lot of time in-world simply writing. I did not come with the intention of creating content. [...]

Hard Work

Working Hard For a SIM

Okay, so I don’t actually have the lindens for the SIM I live on. My cousin, Black pays for it. But does this fact make it okay for him to sit around sunning himself on a log while I do all the domestics?

Seriously…not happy.

St Paddy’s Catch

Petable Turtles | Dedicated to Spex and Kismet (Oh, and St Patrick’s too)

Spex and Kismet – yes, I’m calling you out here on the blog. Sometimes it takes a bit of kismet to get you back on track, and a little Spex. Spex and Kismet were a couple of avatars I met around the Petable fishing hole just now. Actually, I’ve met Spex before – at a [...]

Alien blue

Feeling Blue and Alien

This is me today – quite literally. I’m having a bad day. Real life has kicked me for six, and second life isn’t treating me much better. So I put this on, did a few jobs in SL and now I’m signing off for the day. You know something is wrong when you don’t feel [...]

March is Cut Back Month

Due to some ill-health, some budgetary constraints and some need to get back to real life writing, The Chicken Diaries team are announcing a cut back month on our homestead in Second Life.

A Simple Garb for Breeders

SL Breedables | Going Naked

In a testing group I currently am in, a conversation over chat arrived at the fact that many breeders of SL Breedable animals spend a lot of time breeding – and therefore not getting out and about. Instead, they stand around on farms, skyboxes, platforms, for entire days at a time. Naked. Why not? It [...]

Baiastice – Holiday Grandma

On Being a Grandma in Second Life

I’ve been writing this for a few days. I noticed the sudden trend over the blog feeds (well, my neice pointed it out to me, actually, because I’m really not that much into reading blogs lately, too busy minding the animals really) anyway… where was I? Oh, yes. The trend to be an old woman [...]

Black against the Wall

Introducing My Nephew, Black, As a New Author

You may (or may not) have noticed the male precense around the family of The Chicken Diaries. After some convincing (no, not nagging) PacificBlack Placebo (or Black, as he prefers to be called) has agreed to become a semi-permanent author on this blog. You will now find a brief ( he is a man, afterall) [...]
