We are now chicken-sitting for Rosemary, a year-old brown leghorn from the Temescal neighborhood. Welcome to the Compound, Rosemary!
She looks totally freaked in this portrait..... and for good reason.
The story is tragic. Just like our coop, Rosemary's coop was under attack by urban predators looking for a midnight snack. Last Thursday night, a racoon got Rosemary's sister-chicken, leaving Rosemary an only bird. Her parents, Kristina and Deseree, asked us to take Rosemary in while they build a more secure dwelling.
Rosemary's a tough chick though. Our birds are doing their very best to make her feel unwelcome but she's not taking any s%$t. Rosemary does her own thing while our flock huddles together and talks gossip (see below).
I'm just glad Rosemary is here and safe. We're all safer in numbers.
