I’m officially among the ranks of crazy chicken ladies. My personal highlight from our road trip that included Zion and Mesa Verde was a chat with this good looking barred rock who flew right up to the window of her exhibit coop at the Pipe Springs national site (history of Mormon homesteaders). She was interested in having a conversation, so we gently clucked and chirped at each other for a good 5 minutes before I had to take my leave. I definitely felt refreshed after our encounter!
