This vibrant video shows chickens at the United Poultry Concerns sanctuary in Virginia. Starting in the morning, we see them eagerly waiting to be let
outside in the yard, then racing through their door to pounce on lettuce and start their day. We watch and listen to the chickens through their daily
activities into the evening as, one by one, they hop up to their perches for the night. Accompanied by lively music, this DVD includes brief
explanations of what the chickens are doing in particular scenes, narrated by a young child.

When the Chickens Went on Strike
By Erica Silverman
and illustrated by Matthew Trueman.
$10.00
One day during Rosh Hashanah - the beginning of the Jewish New Year - a boy overhears the chickens in his village plan a strike. They are sick of being used for Kapores, the custom practiced in his Russian village where live chickens are waved over everyone's heads to erase their bad deeds. "An end to Kapores!" the chickens chant as they flee the town.
This book is adapted from a story by Sholom Aleichem, the great Yiddish author best known for his tales which are the basis of the internationally acclaimed play Fiddler on the Roof.
