Roost - by Bronwyn Mitchell-Strong (Paperback)

About the Book

Book Synopsis

Find out what happens when two chicks in the suburbs open their home and hearts to four chicks from the hatchery? First-time chicken farmers, Bronwyn and Christina take you on a journey through the fear, fun and foibles of one of humanity's most important companions - the chicken. Chicken history, science, politics, pop culture, religion, social justice, and even psychosis is woven throughout in an informative and eccentric voice. Amaze your friends and family with your knowledge of chickens - inside and out. You will never look at a chicken, or an egg for that matter, in the same way. We dare you not to cry at the surprise ending.

Review Quotes

"Roost is nothing less than a handbook for successful chicken keeping nested within Ms. Mitchell-Strong's entertaining and revealing personal narrative. Readers with chickens will immediately recognize themselves in its pages, nodding their heads knowingly as she experiences both the heartbreak and joy that are the chicken keeper's rights of passage."
