Summary: Chicks, hens, and roosters are all different and unique. Chickens originally came from Southeast Asia thousands of years ago. People used their eggs and meat to supply food for their families. Most chickens are raised on farms, but some are raised as pets and entered in contests. There are many types of chickens and roosters that live and eat in many ways. Farm raised chickens eat from chicken food belts and drink from the waterer. Pet chickens roam around and eat off of the ground. Chicks are made through eggs that come out of the chicken and then are put in incubation units to form chicks.
Response: I really enjoyed this book because my family used to raise chickens and it made me feel young again. Children would love this book because it is about animals. The information the book presents is really interesting and provides great visuals for the children to understand and comprehend even better. I would use this book in my classroom and might even read it to the class. It is a great nonfiction book to have on the shelf for the children to read and experience.
