What the Chicken Knows

by Sy Montgomery

Sy Montgomery pays tribute to chickens she has known and loved in this adorable book. In her signature style, she relates heartfelt accounts of friendships and surprising interactions with chicks, hens, and roosters and the people who care for them. She explores instinct vs. learned behavior and the challenges of raising chickens in the New Hampshire woods.  Sy's books teach many things, but one of the most universal lessons of her books is appreciating that other creatures, whether they are an octopus, turtle, dog, or a chicken, are not unlike humans in that they are complex individuals capable of thoughtful and deliberate social interactions.
