Happy Chicken

The baby chicks are growing fast, and we hope it won't be long until they are out enjoying the fresh air and sunshine. They'll have a perfect leader to teach them how, as Atomic Cluck has mastered the after-lunch nap. We came upon her in the middle of her little respite, leg and wing stretched out as if sunning herself, eyes closed, basking in the cool, moist mulch under the cannas. Could there be a happier chicken?
