I've been awakened by chickens for a good percentage of my life， most of the adult portion spent in urban areas， and my assumption has been that many of these have been kept for eggs and meat。 The ones I grew up with during my childhood on a farm certainly were。 But at age 6， my husband received a fluffy chick that grew up to be the neighborhood watch chicken， raising a ruckus whenever cars pulled into any drive in his territory。 Monterroso describes keeping small flocks of chickens， usually few I've been awakened by chickens for a good percentage of my life， most of the adult portion spent in urban areas， and my assumption has been that many of these have been kept for eggs and meat。 The ones I grew up with during my childhood on a farm certainly were。 But at age 6， my husband received a fluffy chick that grew up to be the neighborhood watch chicken， raising a ruckus whenever cars pulled into any drive in his territory。 Monterroso describes keeping small flocks of chickens， usually fewer than 10 birds， primarily as pets。 They do live in the back yard in nicely constructed hutches in urban， suburban， small town， and rural areas， but her chickens are used to frequent handling and appear to be affectionate。。 While the book is filled with anecdotes about keeping chickens， it also contains a lot of valuable information。 She spends plenty of time describing personalities of particular breeds， not just their egg laying value。 There is also information about which breeds are best for various environments and weather conditions。 With lovely illustrations， this is a terrific read for anyone who is contemplating adding a chicken or two to the family。。 。。。more
