This fully revised and expanded version of the classic volume The Fairest Fowl (first published to great acclaim in 2001) is a visual celebration of the wonder, pecularity, and magnificence of championship chickens. Today's love affair with urban farming and backyard poultry coops means Tamara Staples' stunning photographs are more apropos than ever. Featuring glorious photos and informative text on more than forty unique breeds (many of them new to this edition), an introduction by Ira Glass, and a new resources section, this fully refreshed hardcover truly earns its new title: The Magnificent Chicken! This book features 50% new content: 24 new photos, and includes 12 all-new birds!
