I don't know much about chickens, other than that when I see them, esp. running about in a farmyard, I laugh. They're just funny creatures. And so when a copy of this book found its way into my hands, I chuckled at the title & thought, "Why not?" You could easily read this in one sitting, although in my case, I carried it around with me for quite a while, reading bits here & there during breaks in my workday. I loved this little gem of a memoir. I loved Catherine Goldhammer's writing style. I laughed. I learned about chickens. And I grew to appreciate the task of "starting over", as the author did. I'd highly recommend this to anyone.
