Ever since daughter Elizabeth acquired chickens this past summer, we find ourselves drawn to observing them, their quirks and egg-centricities. Today, lured outside with my camera hoping for a shot of B612 (also known as Eggatha) posing like a weathervane atop the chicken coop, I instead found myself fascinated by her abilities as a peakwalker, the careful placement of each talon, the balance allowing her to keep upright despite the fact that her plump body is held up by two stick legs...she does have a moment or two of fluttering, but then even Olympic balance beam walkers are known to have a point or two deducted for "corrections" during a routine, right? Keep practicing, B, you ARE impressive!
