Owning chickens is fast becoming the latest in metropolitan chic. If you cant own them, youll still want to read about themwitness the recent success of books such as Extraordinary Chickens and Living With Chickens. Another book is soon to hit the poultry bestseller list: This hilarious account of a rookie poultryowners experience raising birds in his backyard. Move over Julia Roberts and Brad Pitt (both rumored to raise chickens), Martin Gurdon has written the first chicken memoir of its kind. Bound to be a classic, Hen and the Art of Chicken Maintenance follows the Gurdon family through the ups and downs of this wonderful hobby. In addition to providing eggs, the hens offer distractions from everyday lifeBB has terrific telephone etiquette, the spirited but weak Yvette requires Gurdon to act as a personal trainer, and Wimpy is soon renamed Psycho when shes allowed to brood three of her eggs. The book chronicles the daily life of a chicken, including dust baths, brutal peckingorder rituals, genderbending encounters, and, for its owner, the possibility of huge vet bills. The relationship between bird and human is by turns heartwarming and bewildering, but always entertaining. In fact, readers might even learn a thing or two about raising chickens in this lively book.

I enjoyed the stories in this book, but I was hoping for more practical tips on chicken care. It’s good for light reading, but not as in-depth as I wanted. Still, it has its charm!

Nice, but Slow Shipping
I liked the book once it arrived, but the delivery took longer than expected. The content is solid, but I was initially frustrated by how long it took to get here. Would be better with quicker service!
