Chicken introduces us to the surprisingly complex world of the chicken, tracing the evolution of jungle fowl and the domestication of chickens by humans. Annie Potts describes the ways in which chickens experience the world, form families and friendships, communicate with each other, and play, bond and grieve. The author also explores practices such as egg-rolling, the cockfight, wishbone-pulling and chicken-swinging rituals; and also provides a bestiary of bizarre supernatural chickens from around the world. Chicken meditates on the place of chickens in the world today, and includes a tribute to those who educate and advocate on behalf of these birds.
