Summary:
"An immersive blend of chicken-keeping memoir and animal welfare reporting by a journalist who accidentally became obsessed with her flock"--From publisher.
"...Delve deep into our fascinating and fraught relationship with the chickens. When journalist Tove Danovich arrived at the post office to pick up her first flock of chicks, she didn't expect the birds inside that cardboard box to change her life. But within months, the chicks went from hiding under the heat plate of the bathroom brooder to singing egg songs in her backyard coop and enchanting thousands of followers online. They also made her wonder -- what was good life for a chicken anyway? From a hatchery in Iowa to a poultry show in Ohio to a chicken training camp in Washington, Danovich went in search of the people breeding, training, healing, and advocating for chickens. With more than 26 billion chickens living on industrial farms around the world, they are easy to dismiss as just another dinner ingredient. Yet, Danovich's reporting reveals the hidden cleverness, quiet sweetness, and irresistible personalities of these birds, as well as the complex human-chicken relationship that has evolved over centuries..."--Jacket.
