Chicken Boy : My Life with Hens by Arthur Parkinson

Description

Growing up in an ex-mining town in Nottinghamshire, the other kids in the playground called him ‘Chicken Boy’. The quiet fulfilment of keeping hens became his sanctuary, a tonic for mental and physical health, a connection with his family and the natural world.  This is part memoir and part how-to guide to chicken keeping, beautifully illustrated with the author’s own drawings.  233p
