Adolescent chickens look as awkward as we did at that age: half grown, partially "feathered out", with feet bigger than their bodies. They will move out to their deluxe coop in the big barn this week, thanks to the warm Spring weather. They are fascinating beings, full of curiosity, elegance and ornithological beauty. "Bird brained" is a false notion - chickens are quick, confidant, sensitive, aware, and kind to each other. Even the runt, "Tiny", is strong and treated well by her sisters, who are twice her size.

I still feel like a teenage chick.
