Since the dawn of time, humans have perfected the art of raising chickens for sustenance. However, most individuals have limited interaction with these feathered creatures and possess a limited understanding of their behavior. In her captivating book, "Under the Henfluence," culture reporter Tove Danovich delves into the captivating world of these peculiar and enigmatic birds, which captured her heart the moment her first box of chicks arrived at the post office.
From a hatchery in Iowa to a chicken show in Ohio to a rooster rescue in Minnesota, Danovich conducts in-depth interviews with individuals who breed, train, heal, and cherish chickens. With over 26 billion chickens residing on industrial farms worldwide, it is easy to overlook their significance as mere dinner ingredients. However, Danovich's reporting unveils the hidden intelligence, gentle sweetness, and irresistible personalities of these birds, as well as the intricate human-chicken relationship that has developed over centuries. This insightful glimpse into the lives of backyard chickens not only enhances our understanding of chickens but also sheds light on our own behavior and the consequences of the rapid growth of industrial agriculture.
"Under the Henfluence" is a delightful and heartwarming blend of chicken-keeping memoir and cultural reporting, filled with anecdotes from Danovich's own henhouse. It serves as a testament to the fact that chickens are so much more than just a source of food. This captivating book reminds us of the importance of connecting with nature, nurturing relationships, and appreciating the beauty and complexity of the world around us.
