The Chicks
28 chickens were in the box (I’d ordered 25). Two didn’t make the journey from Iowa to Georgia, and a third likely won’t. Undoubtably, another one or two will be lost as well. Baby chicks are fragile things. I split the order with someone else, so there’re now 14 (including the hurt one) peeping in my kitchen. The four cats show gleeful apprehension.
