The Chimera Chicken Bird

Yes, it's The Chimera Chicken Bird.  Or something.

Aside from resizing and putting a border around the picture, I didn't change this picture of the chimera chicken bird critter.  It might look like I stuck a chick's head on a bird body, but I didn't do any fancy photo manipulating.

Nope, that's just how this chick looks.  For real.  For true.

But do you remember in an earlier post I said this reddish brown chick was my favorite?

Reddish-brown Chick

Well, believe it or not it's the same chick in both pictures.

I suppose at some point the head will also feather out and maybe change colors.  But for now, it's kind of weird looking.

It's The Chimera Chicken Bird!

Goodness, I’ve never seen anything like that! I wonder what will happen to it?

I haven’t either! It would be kinda cool if the head just stayed that different color. Since I’m rather weird, I like weird things. Birds of a feather, and all that. ;-)
