The Little Book of Chickens

An illustrated guide to the extraordinary lives of chickens

About this book

We love chickens. From therapy chickens to mugs and calendars, greeting cards to dish towels, our love for chickens is EVERYWHERE. They cheer us, make us laugh, make us love, and help us to see the beauty, joy, and humor in life.

The trend for backyard chickens has surged in recent years, as people look to reduce environmental impact, improve food traceability or simply to enjoy the joy of chicken company. And whether you're seriously considering your own flock, or just interested to learn more about the world's most common bird, this is the book for you.

The Little Book of Chickens is a charming, informative book of all things chicken – learn about their life stages and how clever they really are, plus heaps of fun factoids and truly gorgeous breeds and their colourful eggs – all in a beautifully illustrated gift book.
