Mike Lewis’ chicken documentary is heartwarming and funny. Following the lives of chickens and the people who raise and love them - all for different reasons - The Natural History of the Chicken recreates some of the moments that its subjects detail about their experiences. These people raise chickens for all sorts of reasons, but it is mainly companionship or for food that they are raised. The philosophical nature of farm life is presented as a fact of living for these people, strange as some of their zeal for poultry may be.
