This tale is the recollection of one woman’s desperate struggle to hold on to her family, her friends, and her very sanity when she stumbled into the trap of urban chicken keeping.

Everyone knows fresh eggs are better. Everyone knows chickens are a wonderful self sufficiency investment into the future of your family. You may be aware of a hundred other benefits regarding chickens.

Forget everything you think you know about chickens. You only know part of the truth.

No one speaks of their sexual deviance and dark unknowable rituals. Flock keepers have remained silent on the chicken’s potential to disrupt familial harmony through sleep deprivation, needy behavior, binge eating and random acts of violence.

Never before has the dark and twisted psychosis of the backyard chicken been revealed. . . until now.
