HOME TO ROOST: A BACKYARD FARMER CHASES CHICKENS THROUGH THE AGES: Bob Sheasley: Thomas Dunne Books: Nonfiction: 290 pagesSheasley, a journalist with The Philadelphia Inquirer, raises chickens on his farm and relates anecdotes from his own experiences as well as a wealth of researched information, including details about the mythology of chickens, current mass production practices on farms, and a number of fascinating tidbits (at Easter time, dye is injected into eggs so that chicks are born in lurid purples, greens, and pinks). Sheasley manages to discuss one of the most common animals in America and still fascinate his readers.
