    New Cali Chick

    After being adopted by a group of neighborhood free-ranging chickens, I learned that true bliss is having a happy flock follow me around the garden, looking for the bugs I stirred up. Sadly, they disappeared one day (never did find out to whom they belonged) and I've been missing them ever...
