A few weeks ago my daughter brought home the chick that hatched in her class. We were intending to keep it as a pet, if it turned out to be a female. Well, it appears that his comb is coming out, and the bright red color indicates that Sonic (the name given to him by the kindergarten class) is a "he". Unfortunately, roosters crow and are not allowed in our town, so we will be saying goodbye to him soon. And more unfortunately, our family has grown attached to him.
