City Chickens??

The doggies and I were on our walk today in the park when standing in the shade of a large tree near a little pond of water was a chicken, black with white speckles and a red crest. An honest to God chicken. That has got to be the oddest animal I have seen in this urban park. I live in a city, a big city, where some of the biggest green spaces are the cemeteries dating back to the mid 1800s. But I suppose we got fox in our neighborhood from somewhere too. Maybe the fox came to get into the hen houses.
