Perch Potato: Seven Weeks of Fowl Play With My Feathered Friend
I've been called a perch potato before, but never like this. Marans Froment's new book, *Perch Potato: Seven Weeks of Fowl Play With My Feathered Friend*, takes the term to egg-streme levels. It's a seven-week journey into the absurd, hilarious, and slightly terrifying world of chicken-keeping, told from the perspective of a perch. Yes, a perch. Because why not? If you've ever had a chicken stare at you like you're the intruder in their coop, you'll relate. Froment captures that love-hate relationship perfectly, mixing genuine chicken expertise with a playful fear that'll make you laugh and squirm.
