This Native American ceremonial pipe from nearly two thousand years ago doesn’t represent a domesticated chicken — just a prairie chicken. But it got me thinking about how deeply intertwined our lives are with the lives of our animals.
Chickens were late to the domestication party, but they’ve since been represented widely in art and cutlure.
