Owning chickens is fast becoming the latest in metropolitan chic. If you can't own them, you?ll still want to read about them. Primal urges, the quest for ultimate power, sex, death, gender bending, and huge vet bills?these are the things that chickens are made of. Martin Gurdon's hilarious Hen and the Art of Chicken Maintenance relives the highs and lows of chicken ownership. This unique chicken memoir follows the Gurdon family through the ups and downs of a wonderful hobby. In addition to providing eggs, the hens offer distractions from everyday life.
