Ever wonder where the chicken come from, who was responsible for making the chicken the wonderfully useful bird it is today, or even which historical figureheads owned these creatures. Pam Percy's The Complete Chick: An Entertaining History of Chickens covers a lot of that for us. There were many useful facts like the original purpose of the chicken which may surprise you was not to eat or collect eggs but for cockfighting. The first couple of chapters I found the most useful while the rest seemed to pertain to things like art related to chickens, famous chickens in literature and television, and household poultry related things. All were very interesting but throughout reading the book there were a couple sections that'd not be the best for a young raiser of chickens to hear but most everything was fine. The Complete Chicken was published 2002 so it has been here a while.
