WHAT THE CHICKEN KNOWS: A NEW APPRECIATION OF THE WORLD’S MOST FAMILIAR BIRD, written and read by Sy Montgomery

Science writer Sy Montgomery wrote and reads WHAT THE CHICKEN KNOWS: A NEW APPRECIATION OF THE WORLD’S MOST FAMILIAR BIRD weaving together memoir of her personal chicken experience with studies, conversations with experts, research that reveal stunning facts, surprising revelations and the personal experience of a chicken-loving owner. Montgomery reads and writes with humor, precision, and tenderness all of which blend with a wealth of stories that will send fans flocking (apologies) to find other Montgomery books. With tenderness she tells of snuggling new chicks while writing at her desk, and Pickles, her special needs chicken, who needed protection. And in upsetting detail she writes of roosters who lose their gentlemanly quality to go on attack. Find more information about the book and the audio in the purchase link below.
