Albert is too -- and tended them in Cuba when he was young. When we lived in 
Philadelphia, he bought a live one at the Italian Market  The neighbors tracked 
me down in California because they took umbrage at a chicken in the back yard 
clucking away just before dawn.

His friend Willy killed and cooked it, much to Albert's sorrow.

We have a stained glass chicken that lights up!
