Physical book (I ordered a copy from my favorite independent book store as soon as it came out!). This book is the first of its genre, i.e. books for backyard chicken enthusiasts about the history and culture of backyard chickens. I learned so much!! From what goes on at Murray McMurray hatchery, where most people go to mail order their chicks, to the fascinating world of chicken shows, to considerations about the lives of roosters and more, this book gives you a lot to think about.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves chickens, has a flock of their own, or has entertained the idea of having chickens. đ

The beginning of this book starts with a nostalgic look at small backyard flocks and rural American women making âegg money,â then takes a tour an Iowa hatchery (Iâve been there!) and an OH poultry show before making a somewhat calculated dive off the ledge into why we shouldnât eat chicken anymore.
TL;DR: birds are friends, not food
To say that modern chicken production is woefully different from my great-grandmotherâs flock is an understatement, but the irony does not escape me that Grandma Marion made fried chicken too.

This is a great collection of personal stories and interviews, and I truly learned a lot (and that's coming from a veteran chicken lady)!
