A couple weeks ago, I happened to be in another part of town when I saw 4 really pretty chickens nonchalantly walking around a neighborhood. I was about to take a picture when a postal carrier who was delivering mail showed up. She told me the person they belong to was on her route and she would let them know that their chickens had gotten out. It was all very cordial.
