Yes, Chickenology is a real word. And we have questions. Such as: should you get a chicken?! Chicken-haver and author of “Under the Henfluence” Tove Danovich stops in to recall how her casual backyard chicken experiment turned into an obsession, a lifestyle, and then a book. We chat about junglefowl, chicken competitions, egg prices, chicken statues, bird personalities, coop logistics, avian flus, shell hues, earlobes, live chicken cams, and more on this Part 1. Stay tuned next week as we address a record-breaking number of listener questions. And watch out for leghorns.&nbsp;Buy Tove’s book: <a href="https://bookshop.org/p/books/under-the-henfluence-inside-the-world-of-backyard-chickens-and-the-people-who-love-them-tove-danovich/18670810?ean=9781572843219" rel="noopener noreferrer">Under the Henfluence: Inside the World of Backyard Chickens and the People Who Love Them</a>Visit Tove’s <a href="https://www.tovedanovich.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer">website</a> and follow her on <a href="https://instagram.com/tovekdanovich" rel="noopener noreferrer">Instagram</a> and <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/tkdano.bsky.social" rel="noopener noreferrer">Bluesky</a>Follow Tove’s chickens on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/bestlittlehenhouse/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Instagram</a>A donation went to <a href="https://second-hend.wixsite.com/second-hend/about" rel="noopener noreferrer">Second Hen’d</a><a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/chickenology" rel="noopener noreferrer">More episode sources and links</a>Other episodes you may enjoy: <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/oology2" rel="noopener noreferrer">Oology Encore (EGGS)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/2017/11/7/ornithology-with-james-maley" rel="noopener noreferrer">Ornithology (BIRDS)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/pelicanology" rel="noopener noreferrer">Pelicanology (PELICANS)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/penguinology" rel="noopener noreferrer">Penguinology (PENGUINS)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/procyonology" rel="noopener noreferrer">Procyonology (RACCOONS)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/opossumology" rel="noopener noreferrer">Opossumology (O/POSSUMS)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/veterinarybiology" rel="noopener noreferrer">Veterinary Biology (CRITTER FIXING)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/bisonology" rel="noopener noreferrer">Bisonology (BUFFALO)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/indigenouscuisinology" rel="noopener noreferrer">Indigenous Cuisinology (NATIVE COOKING)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/plumology" rel="noopener noreferrer">Plumology (FEATHERS)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/condorology" rel="noopener noreferrer">Condorology (CONDORS & VULTURES)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/wildlifeecology" rel="noopener noreferrer">Wildlife Ecology (FIELDWORK)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/felinology" rel="noopener noreferrer">Felinology (CATS)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/lupinology" rel="noopener noreferrer">Lupinology (WOLVES)</a><a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies-by-topic" rel="noopener noreferrer">400+ Ologies episodes sorted by topic</a><a href="https://pod.link/1746567248" rel="noopener noreferrer">Smologies (short, classroom-safe) episodes</a><a href="https://alieward.com/ologies-sponsors" rel="noopener noreferrer">Sponsors of Ologies</a><a href="https://alieward.com/ologies-extras" rel="noopener noreferrer">Transcripts and bleeped episodes</a><a href="https://www.patreon.com/ologies" rel="noopener noreferrer">Become a patron of Ologies</a> for as little as a buck a month<a href="https://www.ologiesmerch.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer">OlogiesMerch.com</a> has hats, shirts, hoodies, totes!Follow Ologies on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ologies" rel="noopener noreferrer">Instagram</a> and <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/ologies.bsky.social" rel="noopener noreferrer">Bluesky</a>Follow Alie Ward on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/alieward" rel="noopener noreferrer">Instagram</a> and <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@alie_ologies" rel="noopener noreferrer">TikTok</a>Editing by Mercedes Maitland of <a href="http://maitlandaudio.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Maitland Audio Productions</a> and <a href="https://www.jecmusic.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Jake Chaffee</a>Managing Director: Susan HaleScheduling Producer: Noel DilworthTranscripts by Aveline Malek&nbsp;Website by <a href="https://www.kellyrdwyer.com/photo" rel="noopener noreferrer">Kelly R.
