Book Description
From keeping chickens as pets to collecting every conceivable kind of chicken collectible, we are fascinated with roosters and hens. "The Complete Chicken" pays tribute to chickens with fun, fascinating facts about these widely adored creatures. Pam Percy, who raises chickens, provides an engaging overview of their history and popular breeds; plus she provides a whimsical look at famous clucks and chickens in pop culture and folklore.

You’ll also find a wide selection of words and phrases inspired by chicks, technical poultry terms, instructions on how to say "cock-a-doodle-doo" in different languages, as well as other trivia.

The light-hearted, entertaining text is complemented by inviting illustrations, including photographs of different breeds, images of chickens in ads, and photographs of chicken collectibles (also known as "chickenalia"). This comprehensive look at chickens makes it easy to see how these birds have captured our imagination.
