Each chicken has an individual personality (outgoing or shy, loud or quiet, reckless or cautious) and connects with Sy in her own way. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this short, delightful book, Sy takes us inside the flock and reveals all the things that make chickens such remarkable creatures: only hours after leaving the egg, they are able to walk, run, and peck; relationships are important to them and the average chicken can recognize more than one hundred other chickens; they remember the past and anticipate the future; and they communicate specific information through at least twenty-four distinct calls. Visitors to her home are astonished by all this, but for Sy what's more astonishing is how little most people know about chickens, especially considering there are about twenty percent more chickens on earth than people. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith a winning combination of personal narrative and science, \u003ci\u003eWhat the Chicken Knows\u003c\/i\u003e is exactly the kind of book that has made Sy Montgomery such a beloved and popular author.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSy Montgomery is a naturalist, adventurer, and author of more than thirty acclaimed books of nonfiction for adults and children, including \u003ci\u003eThe Hummingbirds' Gift\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Hawk's Way\u003c\/i\u003e, the National Book Award finalist \u003ci\u003eThe Soul of an Octopus\u003c\/i\u003e, and most recently, \u003ci\u003eOf Time and Turtles\u003c\/i\u003e, which was a \u003ci\u003eNew York Times \u003c\/i\u003ebestseller.
