My Chickens And I

With 124 color illustrations, this delightful book by actress and filmmaker Isabella Rossellini shares her newfound passion for raising chickens. When a cardboard carton dotted with airholes arrived at her door, Rossellini expected to welcome 38 yellow chicks to her Long Island farm. Much to her surprise, her newly hatched brood included a diverse mix of heritage breeds - a discovery that prompted further research into the traits, behavior, and history of each one. Photographs by Patrice Casanova, hand-drawn illustrations by Rossellini herself! 7" x 9", 112 pages.
