I need a shelf called "this is definitely someone's special interest" for all the books I read that are told with love and care about a thing that matters deeply to the author.

I am NOT getting backyard chickens. I'm close enough to my limit of creatures I can keep alive as it is. But this was a fun read (thanks, Kevin & Productivity Alchemy!) except for all the parts that were not exactly fun because they're about industrial farming and...yikes on bikes. There wasn't anything I didn't know, just a lot about the ways in which we owe animals so much better than we give them.

I would, however, love if someone right near me felt like getting backyard chickens so I could live vicariously through them. 

Also, there is a therapy chicken in this book named "Attila the Hen". That is all and that is everything.
