My Chickens and I

Actress and filmmaker Isabella Rossellini shares her newfound passion for raising chickens in this book. When a cardboard carton dotted with airholes arrived at her door, Rossellini expected to welcome 38 yellow chicks to her Long Island farm. Much to her surprise, her newly hatched brood included a diverse mix of heritage breeds-a discovery that prompted further research into the traits, behavior and history of each one. Perfectly capturing the fine-feathered glory and surprising intelligence of these spirited backyard birds, My Chickens and I pairs Patrice Casanova’s photographs with Rossellini’s wry observations, fun facts and hand-drawn illustrations. —- ISBN: 9781419729911 | ISBN10: 1419729918 | ISBN-13: 978-1419729911
