    Just got back in from the latest chick adventure, I live in central CA, not much here, an hour and a half from the beach and the mountains and 3 from LA and SF. We get weather mood swings here, cold winter hot summer and little in between. We have about a month of fall, then bam, cold and fog.

    ...do any of your neighbors have chickens? Because i just can't imagine a cat carrying a chick for a quarter mile, so it probably came from your neighbors and they can tell you what Floyd is. Its not like they'd want him back, they probably have roos out the ears and really, he was already a...
