One of my favorite Yahoo! Live channels is chickam2008. There’s no indirection, bait-and-switch, or rickroll going on here: It’s a bunch of baby chicks, keeping warm, growing, and clucking a bit.

I had to wake up ridiculously early yesterday, so I checked the Live home page, and was happy to find my little poultry there, completely oblivious. I double-clicked on the video to make it fullscreen (a secret/imperfect Yahoo! Live feature), and enjoyed my breakfast accompanied by the soothing sound of chicks.

I just have one small message for my favorite flock of chicks: When you grow up, please don’t forget the people who helped make you famous. We don’t want much — just a few fresh eggs from non-factory chickens, with their thick greenish shells and bright sunshine yolks. I know how good they taste, and I’d really like a few, please. I know you’ll have some to spare.
