I must say this book was quite addictive. Once I picked it up it was hard to put down. The author's style of writing, was easy to read. He told this story in such a personal way about his flock of chickens. Being a small flock owner I liked the real and not overly scripted way he told of his enjoyments and heartbreaks in the chicken raising endeavor. The lengths that us chicken keepers will go to save the health of a pet is amazing. After reading about the author & the chicken Yvette and her/his physical therapy I was in stitches laughing!!
The only thing that I didn't like about this book was all the cursing and cutesy "chicken shagging" references. The reason I don't like these remarks is that this otherwise would've been a book I'd of liked to share with my younger niece & they really added nothing to the story.
There is also a sequel to this book called I believe Traveling with a Man and his chicken.
