Summary: Liza, oh sweet little Liza
Comment: Yes, The Natural History of the Chicken caught my eye while channel surfing. I came to a dead stop because of the title. Shortly the story of Liza began and within a few min I had tears in my eyes and totally understand the meaning of the title. I fell in love with Liza and her heart as well as her owner. I would have done the same things her owner did to give her the opportunity to live a complete life. What a feel good, stop and think program. Called.... The Natural History of the Chicken. Love you Little Liza, dp

Summary: Great as Entertainment
Comment: This is not the genetic varieties of the chicken and their history in the world, though the title may be a bit misleading. Personally, I don't go into purchases blind. What it is is interesting, funny, weird, touching, and illuminating in some ways (perhaps not for the hardcore chicken farmer).

Summary: NOT a natural history film... but has some interesting aspects
Comment: This film is NOT a natural history film. Instead, it explores the relationship between humans and chickens.
Segments include: a neighborhood which is devastated when a cockfighting enthusiast moves in 100 roosters; a family which raises chickens for meat and eggs; a woman with a pet "house chicken" (a Silkie); and a farmer who has compassion for a broody hen (who turns out to be a hero).
Although this film tends to mock people who love chickens, it does have balance. The final segment is extremely touching, may leave you in tears (the good kind of tears).

Summary: Cute Chicken stories
Comment: I bought this DVD for my mom after I had saw it on PBS, and thought it was an adorable documentary. It left me feeling fluffy and feathery inside.
And no it is not the history of the chicken; it's just a set of seperate real life stories that all have a chicken or several hundred chickens in them.

Summary: If you've ever loved a chicken....
Comment: You must rent or purchase this DVD if you've ever had a special bond with chickens. I laughed, cried and contemplated life during this movie. From the wonderful little lady in Maine who saves her frozen hen by performing mouth-to-beak resuscitation, the lovely woman in Palm Beach who has a spoiled rotten Japanese Bantam Silkie who rides in the car and goes grocery shopping, and swimming with her (she was in fact wearing a strapless bathing suit NOT swimming naked), to the fighting roosters invading a peaceful neighborhood, the farmer raising his own food humanely and to the preacher who learns about God's love for us from a mother Silkie protecting her babies, I loved every minute of this movie. In fact I plan on buying a copy for a few of my chicken fancier friends!
