On Franklin Avenue between Madison and Monroe in Clinton Hill someone owns and keeps five chickens in a little street-facing yard. If you happen to live within walking distance of these chickens, I recommend incorporating them into a regular walking loop. If you’d like you can call this a “chicken run.” When you arrive at the chickens, you’ll find a gumball machine filled with chicken feed that takes quarters, so make sure to bring coins to pay your dues. Their names are Baby, Spicy, Sporty, Scary, and Posh, or just “the girlies.” If you’re lucky they’ll eat right out of the palm of your hand.
