I came across this film on Netflix Instant Que about chickens. It is produced by PBS in 2001 and is a fun collection of stories of people all over the US who have chickens in their lives. Like the lady who swims with her rooster 'Cotton' and uses a blow dryer to dry him. I'll let her tell you how she takes care of the chicken poop...
Another guy raised 25 fighting roosters and boy were his neighbors mad. They counted 20,000 'crows' in a day!
The video footage of the high production chicken farms was astounding too! Speaking of high production, another interesting fact was that when the video was made, the US slaughters 8 billion chickens per year for meat!
My favorite story is of a chicken from our own Fruita, CO named Mike. I wont spoil the surprise... Enjoy the documentary!
Check out The Natural History of the Chicken on Hulu.
