Which comes first...

Everyone needs their muse, and frankly, nothing inspires me more than thinking about chickens.
What is the attraction? What do they represent, to me and to everyone else?
Are other people interested in chickens the way I am? What do they have to say?
How are chickens presented in all different types of media, from the written word to music to art and photography? In this space I am exploring some of these questions, and the answers reached both by myself and other people in the world.
