'A call to arms, but in an entertainingly written, well-paced way. It certainly makes you think.' Kate Green, Country Life 'A heartfelt account of raising pet hens ... [that] endears and provides an intimate look at animals more often thought of as food than friends ... Anyone who's mulled the possibility of setting up a backyard coop will find this the next best thing.' Publisher's Weekly 'A delightful peep into an old business, refreshed for a new generation' Aimee Nezhukumatathil, New York Times bestselling author of World of Wonders 'A moving tribute to the world's most numerous birds. It will change the way you look at chickens.' Hal Herzog, author of Some We Love, Some We Hate, Some We Eat: Why it's so hard to think straight about animals 'Danovich's book is a gem' Marc Bekoff, author of The Emotional Lives of Animals
