    • it did, and ran behind its owners fence where it preceded to wake even more neighbors!:-)

  1. This is so awesome! I about fell over the first time I saw a chicken just walking around in Humboldt. (this is Pilsen though, right?) I’ve spent DAYS and HOURS trying to find the right shot with an urban chicken and I am so happy someone got one!

    • Thanks Amanda! It was just one of those crazy moments. The tip from my 100 Tips post about unplugging your earbuds was related to this. My windows were down, and I heard the chicken before I photographed him…
