A Backyard Farmer Chases Chickens Through the Ages 

Each day, Bob Sheasley leaves Lilyfield Farm and heads into the city. And each day, he brings along a basket of deliciously fresh eggs for his coworkers at the Philadelphia Inquirer; depending on the breed of hen, these eggs may be white, green, rose, blue, or as brown as chocolate. Here Sheasley tells of the intertwined relationship between humans and chickens, delving into where chickens came from, what their DNA tells us about our kinship, and the roads we're crossing together. This is a story of agriculture and human migration, of folk medicine and technology, of how we dreamed of the good life, threw it away, and want it back.
