How to Speak Chicken
Oops! Something went wrong. Please try again.
As much as we'd like to cluck and crow along with our feathered friends, understanding what our chickens are trying to tell us is usually much more nuanced than that. In this how-to guide, best-selling author, Melissa Caughey, breaks it all down, explaining equine behavior and answering the questions that keep flock-keepers up at night. You'll learn firsthand how chickens use their senses, establish pecking order and interact with one another. This INDIES Silver Award Winner uses scientific facts and interviews to explain the quirks that make chickens so unique—like, do chickens have names for each other? How do they learn? For a chicken-farmer, "speaking chicken" can help you bond, communicate and create a trusting relationship with your flock.

Christmas present
By Grandma on Dec 21, 2020
This is a gift for my daughter-in-law. This was her first year raising chickens. I thought she might enjoy this book. Thumbing through it I found it quite interesting. Can’t wait to hear what she has to say after reading it.

I bought this for my niece who raises chickens but had to sneak a peek. Read a couple of chapters & loved them! Learned a few things, laughed, & cried.
