We are thrilled to have Sy Montgomery returning with her latest book, What the Chicken Knows: A New Appreciation of the World’s Most Familiar Bird. We hope you will join us for an afternoon of all things chicken!

For more than two decades, Sy Montgomery has kept a flock of chickens in the backyard. In this delightful book,. Sy takes us inside the flock and reveals all the things that make chickens such remarkable creatures: only hours after leaving the egg, they can walk, run and peck; they can recognize more than 100 other chickens; they remember the past and anticipate the future; and they communicate specific information with at least 24 different calls.
With a winning combination of personal narrative and science, and including 16 pages of full color photos by Tia Strombeck, What the Chicken Knows will change the way you think about this most familiar and underestimated of birds.
Researching articles, films, and her 31 books for adults and children, nationally bestselling author Sy Montgomery has been chased by an angry silverback gorilla in Rwanda, hunted by a tiger in India, and swum with piranhas, electric eels and pink dolphins in the Amazon. Her work has taken her from the cloud forest of Papua New Guinea (for a book on tree kangaroos) to the Altai Mountains of the Gobi (for another on snow leopards.) For THE SOUL OF AN OCTOPUS (a National Book Award finalist) she befriended octopuses at the New England aquarium and scuba dived and snorkeled with wild octopuses in Mexico and French Polynesia; next she drew on her scuba skills to cage dive with great white sharks. She lives in New Hampshire with her husband, the writer Howard Mansfield, and their border collie Thurber.
