Book
Under the henfluence : inside the world of backyard chickens and the people who love them / Tove Danovich.
"An immersive blend of chicken-keeping memoir and animal welfare reporting by a journalist who accidentally became obsessed with her flock"-- Provided by publisher.
When Danovich picked up her first flock of chicks, she didn't expect the birds to change her life. She began to wonder: what is a good life for a chicken, anyway? She went in search of the people breeding, training, healing, and advocating for chickens. Danovich reports on the hidden cleverness and irresistible personalities of these birds, as well as the complex human-chicken relationships that have evolved over the centuries. And she shows that the pampered lives of pet chickens are a stark contrast to the living conditions of birds in the meat and egg industry. -- adapted from jacket
