    When this batch of Rhode Island Red chicks was misdirected in the mail, they ended up taking an impromptu visit to our nation’s capitol. The chicks were meant to be shipped to Blountsville, Ala., but somehow ended up in Washington, D.C. The Washington Humane Society swept in and took care of the chicks until they could find a new home for them at Farm Sanctuary in New York. Now these cute chicks will have the chance to grow into majestic roosters and hens.  (Washington Humane Society)
