Watching the long-delayed 2022 Winter Olympics (ice skating in particular), learning of the fad to knit sweaters for chickens, and watching my neighbors’ actual chickens all came together in my brain to imagine ice skating chickens receiving their kudos of tossed roses from a cheering crowd. Of course, they are sweatered and coordinated and blinged out, as any self-respecting ice skating chicken should be. The first of the “Chickens Impossible” series.
