Clucking.

This being Los Angeles, I ignored it at first. If you've ever lived in a large metropolis, you know it's best to play the deaf card when first hearing odd noises..

But the clucking continued. And more clucking joined it. It was a chorus of clucking.

And I turned around to see not one, not two, but 20 chickens -- all, apparently, about to be MAILED.

So let me ask: am I the only one in the world that didn't know you could mail livestock through the US Postal Service? Because, let me tell you...now that I know that it's possible...everyone in my life is getting a live Christmas Chicken mailed to them this year.
