Overview

Welcome to the wonderful world of chickens! This beloved barnyard bird is full of surprises.

Chickens can learn to count up to four and have excellent hearing—many even like to listen to music! Chickenology takes young readers (and grown-ups) on a fascinating and informative tour of chickens. Discover the incredible variety of chickens with different origins, breeds, and feather patterns, delve into chicken anatomy and evolution, and even learn the basics of chicken care.
