She refused it and just stood there,    10    up at me. Halfway home that evening, I made a U-turn and went back to my    11    I picked up the chicken and drove home with her in my lap, her beak (喙) on my shoulder the entire    12   .
I    13    on Facebook, asking if anyone had    14    a chicken. But no one claimed her. My    15    made herself at home even laying eggs in my backyard.
