Helpful Score: 6

This slim volume tells the story of adjusting to life as a newly-single mother, with the aid of 6 chickens. Catherine Goldhammer's story is not only about chickens; it is also about finding one's inner strength, re-entering the workplace, and becoming independent.... though it is mostly about chickens.

Anyone who has kept chickens as pets will find this book to be laugh out loud funny. Her observations about chickens are right on, and as a new chicken mom I can relate to the chaos of raising baby chicks. I wonder if this book would be as appealing to a reader who does not have or like chickens - perhaps, but they'd likely miss much of the humor. Highly recommended for chicken keepers!
