It was great seeing the book transformed to a stage production about the life of chickens. The performance was charming and delightful. Hopefully, it got people thinking about chickens including their personalities and social life and the suffering they endure, particularly in the battery-cage operations where they are forced to live miserable lives in a world of darkness, pollution, and wire mesh that has aptly been termed a Henitentiary in which all the "jailbirds" are innocent. Your citing of United Poultry Concerns and Sorrow of the Battery Hen is much appreciated.
