What the Chicken Knows: A New Appreciation of the World's Most Familiar Bird by Sy Montgomery

informative lighthearted relaxing

4.5

This delightful little book packs a punch!  Sy Montgomery’s avian anecdotes are interspersed with scientific research findings that prove the haters wrong.  Chickens are much more intelligent (and docile) than is widely believed.  This glimpse into the “Chicken Universe” will enlighten readers to the bravery, playfulness, and individuality of the world’s most common bird.  Montgomery’s stories of rural life in New Hampshire are a balm for the overstimulated mind.
