原文：

Chickens aren't traditional pets. But with chicken coops ___1（突然出现）___ in more and more urban and suburban backyards, some owners take just as much pride in their poultry as they do in their dogs or cats — so much so that they're primping and preening them for beauty contests.

On a ___2（闷热的）___ Sunday afternoon in Fort Collins, Colo., 16 of the region's finest hens and roosters competed for a chance to win Best in Show at the 2016 Prettiest Chicken Contest. The event took place at the Wolverine Farm Letterpress & Publick House — a publishing house, bar and print shop that hosts quirky community events.

Some of the urban chickens performed tricks — one pale-feathered rooster named Bruce pretended to sleep on command — while others, like Buff Brahma hen Miss Felicia Fancy Feet, ___3（穿戴）___ costumes. (She wore a dapper emerald green hat.)

译文参考：

鸡并不属于传统的宠物，但随着越来越多的鸡笼出现在城市和市郊的后院里，一些鸡主人也像养猫狗的人一样为自家的宠物自豪——甚至自豪到给它们精心打扮，带它们参加选美比赛。

闷热的周日下午，科罗拉多州科林斯堡最漂亮的16只公鸡和母鸡在2016美鸡大赛上竞逐冠军宝座。大赛地点为渥弗林农庄——这是一家出版社、酒吧兼印刷店，经常举办各种神奇的社区活动。

一些来自城市的参赛者进行了才艺展示——一只浅色的公鸡“布鲁斯”能听指令睡觉。另一些参赛者则穿戴了衣饰，如米色的婆罗吸摩鸡“菲莉西亚小姐”就戴了一顶翠绿的小帽子。
