Chickens, In 2019 at the Pandemic inception I was gifted some chicks. That began an ongoing love affair with the birds as well as the gifts they share. An evolving flock, in a homemade chicken coop share my garden in Pittsburgh. The chickens all required names befitting their personalities. The more time I spent with them the more the light dancing off of their multifaceted feathers, rubbery combs and wattles required further study, and the Chicken Light Series began.
