Items related to Home to Roost: A Backyard Farmer Chases Chickens Through...
In "Home to Roost", Sheasley tells of the intertwined relationship between humans and chickens. It's the story of agriculture and human migration; of folk medicine and technology; of how we dreamed of the good life, threw it away, and want it back. He delves into where chickens came from, what their DNA tells us about our kinship, how we've treated our feathered fellow traveller, and the roads we're crossing, together. With wit and personal insight, "Home to Roost" examines how our lives can be changed for the better, with something as simple as a backyard coop.
