Poor little chick
Submitted by pattyanne on Thu, 10/22/2009 - 2:42am.
I remember when I was little they used to sell little chicks and bunnies at Easter time. You know what ended up happening to them! Glad they put a stop to that!!
Dig that crazy chick...

I wonder what that chicken went on to do with itself, where it lived, and when it died...
Kinda.

the only way to get a chick to stay that still for such a long exposure meant that it had to be dead and stuffed...
