I was invited to post some questions for Mark Lewis. Here are a few:

Although there is mocking tone through much of the film, it is clear that you have a genuine appreciation of chickens that seems to come from personal experience. What kind of chickens did you grow up with, and what kind of relationship did you have with them?

What is the best way to protect young chickens from cane toads?

Here's a real natural history question: what is the best explanation you have heard about how the green-egg-laying chickens got to South America in the first place?

Speaking of "natural history," what did you mean by natural history in the title of your film?

Ever hear that brown eggs come from chickens with brown feathers and white eggs come from chickens with white feathers? It is all over the web, in pamphlets produced by egg boards, and even on posters created by 4-Hers, who may raise brown Leghorns themselves. How does that misinformation keep alive, when it so obviously false?
