PBS: The Natural History of the Chicken (DVD)


I got this for Christmas from my husband... man, what a WONDERFUL dvd! SERIOUSLY awesome!


Most people best know the chicken from their dinner plates -- whether as thigh, wing or drumstick. Consumers barely pause a moment to consider the bird's many virtues. Filmmaker Mark Lewis (Cane Toads: An Unnatural History and Rat) expands the frontiers of popular awareness and delightfully reveals that this small, common and seemingly simple animal is as complex and grand as any of Earth's creatures.
