| Three years in the making, the 79 minute documentary, Mad City Chickens is a sometimes wacky, sometimes serious look at the people who keep urban chickens in their backyards. From chicken experts and authors to a rescued landfill hen or an inexperienced family that decides to take the poultry plunge-and even a mad scientist and giant hen taking to the streets. It's a humorous and heartfelt trip through the world of backyard chickendom.
