Hello, I have my first Chicken.
We call her rita. Rita is one of nine chickens a neighbor had. On the morning of December 27 due to the negligence of her caretaker because her owner was out of town. It was a freezing night. The door was not put back on the coop. something got into the coop the next morning I was alerted by my Aunt running up the driveway with a chicken clutched in a blanket.
I asked her what had happened. She had told me with tears running down her cheeks. They're all dead. Something got to them. This one still alive, but barely , I quickly went over to assess the other chickens, I grabbed two that were still relatively warm and brought them back into the bathroom for some heat, blankets, and a blow dryer. Sadly, the other two were Rhode Island reds beautiful birds they did not survive. The lone Survivor. Rita became my chicken that night she fought hard to survive. Now I need to fight for her to stay well. So, until spring she lives in my bathroom with the goal of getting a fertilized sexed egg for another girl and let her sit on it so she can start her family over
