‘Chicken Boy, is part memoir (henoir?), part how-to guide to chicken-keeping, but above all, a love letter to these misunderstood creatures – not “disgusting and pecky” or just “Sunday dinner”, but charming, worthy of respect and above all, beautiful.’ Emma Beddington, The Observer
Most of us want a dog or a cat when we are young but for Arthur Parkinson, it was always hens.
From the allotments of Nottinghamshire to Chatsworth and an unlikely friendship with the late Duchess of Devonshire, a famous hen-keeper, Chicken Boy – illustrated by the author – tells the story of the love and satisfaction to be found in caring for living things.
