Why does a hen shout so loudly after laying an egg? Why do chickens roll in dirt to get clean? And is it really true that chickens are related to dinosaurs?
If your child has ever stood by the coop and asked a question you couldn't answer, this book is for you. Why Does My Chicken Do That? answers 101 real questions kids ask about backyard chickens, with fun, easy-to-understand explanations and an infographic illustration on every page.
Perfect for curious kids ages 6-12, this chicken book for kids turns everyday backyard moments into fascinating discoveries about chicken behavior, eggs, hens, roosters, and baby chicks.
Inside, kids will discover:
- Egg-citing egg facts: why eggs come in different colors, why some have two yolks, and how a hen makes a brand-new shell every single day
- Amazing chicken bodies: why chickens have scaly legs like a lizard, why their heads stay perfectly still when they move, and why their feet don't freeze in the snow
- Flock life and the pecking order: why one chicken gets to boss everyone around, why hens all want the same nest box, and why chickens come running when they hear you
- Chicken chatter: what all those clucks, squawks, and crows really mean, and why roosters crow in the middle of the night
- Baby chicks: how a chick breathes inside the egg, why it takes 21 days to hatch, and why chicks think you're their mom
- Staying safe: how to tell if a chicken is sick, what eats chickens, and why the flock gets locked in every night
- Where chickens come from: wild chickens, dinosaur relatives, and why there are more chickens than people on Earth
Every answer is broken down into simple, bite-sized pieces that early readers can enjoy on their own and younger kids will love hearing read aloud. It's a fun mix of science, nature, and animal facts that helps children understand and care for their flock.
A great gift for:
- Kids with backyard chickens or a family flock
- Young animal lovers and future farmers
- Homeschool science and nature study
- 4-H and poultry club members
