Gday everyone! :)

For a long time I have been breeding chickens. I have them in my neighbour's pen, as theirs is huge and we don't
have enough room. A week ago we had three chickens hatched. Two that are big and dark, one that is small and
light. Okay, here is the story...

Today I happened to meet up my neighbour at the fence. She had a little bundle of light yellow in her hands. It
was one of my chicks. She told me what happened today.
"It was morning and I checked on the chickens to see if they are alright. When I checked the little coop that
they and their mother Anne was in, I was shocked to find that one of the chickens was shivering, with ticks
and ants crawling all over the head and beak." She took the just-about-dead chicken in her house and turned
on the oven. Then she put the week old chicken near it. Then, after a couple of minutes, the little thing was up
again and running. "The cute fluffball follows me all around the house and crawls in my shirt like I am it's mother!"
I was very delighted to hear this, if my neighbour didn't check the chickens, the poor little one woudn't have survived!

Anyway, I named it Lucky. Although this is a short story, I decided to share it with all of you.

Soon, the pet will be back in the large pen!!

Great story, BUT, the mother may not take it back now....

I'd get it back under her ASAP

and get something to spray for ticks and ants!
 
Awwww! What a cute story! I was a little worried it would have a sad ending, but I was pleasantly surprised. :clap
