Starla,
I sent some pictures of Clara. She is growing feathers---and attitude. For a little chicken, she certainly makes her prescence known. The cats are terrified of her and the dogs give her a wide berth. She can't fly at all (absolutely NO balance) and she can't perch due to the lack of a toe on her left foot, but she gets around just fine nonetheless. She is still cuddly and will just about prostitute herself for grapes and yogurt. Except for a spell of going "broody" back in early December, she has not had any medical issues.

We found out that she is a particular breed of "fancy" chicken---a Frizzled Banty Cochin.

Her feathers are curly and they extend down her legs and she looks like a black puff ball when she fluffs up.

I still can't figure out how she got to the Chinarosa parking lot, but I am glad she did.

With the curly hair, large "beak" and sort of hairy legs she might have thought she belonged with someone that has curly hair, a large nose and sort of hairy legs. She probably thinks she found her kinfolk.
