A flock is born

Photo: Two American delegates (left) greet the newly hatched flock of the Freiburg Huehnergesellschaft fuer Kunst, Kultur, und Vegetarismus.

Warning: Do not lick the German chickens. Six of them are coated in a toxic glaze, chock full of copper and barium. I chose the glaze because I saw it adorning various bowls and mugs on a shelf at the Keramik Werkstatt, and it looked like it had character. Someone In Charge probably should have told students that lining bowls and mugs with heavy-metal laden glazes is not a good idea. Since the chickens are not food surfaces, I think they're reasonably safe to Hendl.

No deutsche chicken lickin'? Very well then. Nice-looking chickens, albeit not so food-safe.

Beautiful chickens, regardless of toxicity.
