The Private Life of Chickens

Once in a while I come upon a documentary that is as deliciously comforting as a cup of hot cocoa when you’re feeling a little under the weather. The Private Life of Chickens was just that for me: a dose of comfort and relaxation to take late in the evening, when the chores are done and I’m tired and craving something cozy and domestic like only a British documentary can be.

This documentary takes us to the beautiful English countryside (something I would dearly love to re-create in Israel), to the farm of a sweet lady named Jane, who rescues ex-battery hens, cares for them, and passes them into the hands of small backyard flock owners. She is really one of a kind – I wish I had a neighbor like her.

So, if you’re a chicken lover and would like to learn some fascinating facts about your favorite bird, kick back, relax and enjoy an hour of fun and relaxation with The Private Life of Chickens.

As for me, I’m moving on to watch The Private Life of Cows.

    Do you mean you are moooooving on?

    I love cows — so far, a long-distance non-relationship only because I’ve never lived in a farming community. There seem to be a lot of videos with this title.

    Shavua tov!

  2. Amen, I bless you that you should be able to have that Jersey cow, and I will be SO happy for you! But I might want a Guernsey or a G/J mix – might be even better. We need to have these cows as part of our mix here, for sure!
