 Dippy and delightful “the way of the chicken” takes a very relaxed look at the very fine art of raising chickens in today’s very modern fast paced society. Filled with homilies, family snippets, folk loric and fact,  Danaan entices you into taking a good look at the fast pace we all live at and the many or simply one way, by adding chickens to your household,  of learning to slow down and enjoy the gifts you are given daily.

Underlying the main theme is a secondary thread of using the hens and their daily routines to learn to meditate as well as learn to become self-sufficient in a suburban plot. Being able to enjoy doing something as simple as growing, collecting and eating something (eggs not chickens) you have played a part, as well as the health benefits to the entire family are well illustrated throughout the pages and may, perhaps, encourage  you consider adding chickens to your back yard!
