They're Not Birdbrains

Author Sy Montgomery takes on the topic of the humble chicken and she's not afraid of ruffling a few feathers (ha!) in her defense of the familiar barnyard bird. Chickens, it seems, have a whole lot more going on than the average person was ever led to believe. A tiny book, you'll whiz right through this little gem, crowing at your new knowledge. Her writing style is cozy and warm, and makes you want to have a hot beverage with her while you talk turkey. Okay, that one didn't really work, but I couldn't help it. Highly recommended--don't chicken out. Okay, I need to stop now.
