Poultry-geist, the ghost (obake) of a chicken

For Bookhoarder, who's evidently trying to suggest my theme for May:

Q. What Do You Get When You Cross A Chicken With A Bell?
A. An Alarm Cluck.
Q. What Do You Get When You Cross A Chicken With A Dog?
A. A Hen That Lays Pooched Eggs.
Q. What Do You Get When You Cross A Chicken With A Race-Horse?
A. A Hen That Lays Odds.

So, I guess my theme this month (since I haven't thought of anything better...lol) is
SPRING CHICKENS!

Let's start with, ahhh, hen & chicks?

(Um, thanks for your input, I think....)
