Book Review – #48 – The Chicken

“When I got my hands on this book, I was curious but I didn’t know what to expect about chickens, I think we are familiar with them, however, we don’t have enough information about their origins or what they are all about.

After I read a few pages I was fascinated with the deep study made by the author Joseph Barber. He explores their anatomy evolution and development as well as their behavior. The analytic descriptions are comprehensive. I was impressed learning about their learning, imprinting, aggression, parental behavior. Their cognitive abilities.

There’s a plethora of interesting information about the different breeds from around the world, all illustrated with beautiful photographs and artist renditions.

This paperback has 224 pages, 8”x 9” with a total of 250 color illustrations.

I’m very satisfied with this book, I have learned quite a bit about chickens and breeds that I didn’t know existed.”

When I was a child, I had a two little chickens, then, they grew up; we grew up together. the first one live 8 years old, and the other one, 12 years old, more or less, so we were happy, roosters and children 😀 (my sisters and I). We learnt to much about their love and their behaivor. We will never forget them: BEBÉ and Mogodo. Two beautiful cocks, who show us many things about life ❤
Greetings Avian101
