Few farmyard and back-garden animals display such appealing and amusing characteristics as chickens. Some continually scratch the ground in search of insects, many just bustle and hustle, while others reveal self-importance through a measured walk. They would have been outstanding vaudeville acts, but their egg-laying and meat-producing abilities have been hijacked by Man to produce food for millions of people throughout the world each day. Decorated throughout with historical woodcuts and engravings, and packed with intriguing facts and folklore, this book is not only a charming gift but is also a useful practical guide.

Industry Reviews

Crazy about chickens? Then this is just the book for you. It is absolutely jam-packed with information about all aspects of the birds. Learn about their origins, psychology, language and sex life. Learn about breeds and feather types. Learn about how to keep them, and gen up on chicken superstitions, proverbs and famous chicken keepers. A fascinating chicken compendium.

-- Simon McEwan, Editor, Your Chickens magazine

"This 'miscellany of poultry pickings' written by smallholder David Squire mixes practical advice with more playful offerings, such as a glossary of chicken-related slang. Hardback, with illustrations throughout, it would make a lovely gift."
