“Chickens are a lot more mainstream than veganism and a little
bit like kombucha: super weird twenty years ago, now somewhat
popular and made even more so by logos, brands, and hashtags.” So
begins Gina Warren’s deep dive into the backyard chicken
movement. Digging into its history and food politics, she provides
a highly personal account of the movement’s social and cultural
motivations, the regulations it faces, and the ways that chicken
owners build community. Weaving together interviews with urban
agriculture advocates, entrepreneurs such as a $225 per hour
“chicken consultant,” animal rights campaigners, and a fabulous
cross-section of chicken enthusiasts, Warren sheds light on
Americans’ complex relationship with animals—as guardians,
companions, and eaters—and what it means to be a conscious eater.
As Warren chronicles her own misadventures raising chickens, her
pursuit of what’s best for her own flock leads past chicken tutus
and gourmet chicken treats and into serious attempts at sustainable
eating, such as cooking insects and dumpster diving. The result is
a fresh and charming story that speaks to backyard chicken owners,
while also raising questions about sustainable farming, industrial
agriculture, and our connections with the animals we love.
