Summary

The huge increase in recent years in chicken-owning households has caused a corresponding increase in questions about life in the flock, how chickens think and feel, and how owners can take better care of their birds. This fun and fascinating book answers all of these questions and more. Through a combination of scientific facts and the author's personal observations from her own backyard, readers explore domestic chickens communication, habits and behavior, instincts and fears, senses and smarts, social life, life cycle, and more in this. Hardworking facts about how chickens brains work, what their different calls mean, and how their evolution affected flock dynamics offer those who raise chickens a useful look into the world of their feathered friends. And interviews with chicken keepers from across the country and endearing photos with chicken-themed quotes ensure that this practical volume is lighthearted enough for those with a general interest in animal behavior and communication
