This is the best possible way you could make a documentary film about chickens. Rather than being a dull, bland, and boring film with a narrator whose voice sounds miserable, you get a bright, quirky, heartwarming and zany look at human eccentricity and the chicken's more interesting and surprisingly intelligent behavior.
From a woman who is seen carrying her pet chicken in her pocket book while buying groceries to a man, hilariously, doing impressions of the various calls of chickens to the story of a living headless chicken, this documentary is consistently entertaining and well made. It actually gets even more bizarre than the two early Errol Morris films ("Gates of Heaven" and "Vernon Florida")!
The film isn't about the history of chickens at all. I mean, nothing in this film is historical, therefore making "The Natural History of Chickens" a pretty misleading title. So if you're looking for an ACTUAL history of chickens, then you probably shouldn't watch the film. However, if you want to see a really funny and weird doc that is sure to entertain and amuse, this one's totally for you!
