Girls in sarongs with chickens

This is my very favorite picture from my trip. Kate (right) keeps a pet chicken at home and asked her mom to put the chicken on the phone so she could coo to it over her cell phone (when we managed to find a signal). So she was quite delighted to find these chickens at one of our potlucks in Vermont. Ida evidently likes chickens quite a bit, too. They asked if we could take the chickens along in the bus.
