Sad update...shortly after my last post I went to sit with and talk to it and it began to struggle to breathe and it's rhythmn was off. It finally just quit. I tried to revive it again for, literally, 8 minutes but it never came back. I feel blessed that I brought it back the first time at all and I gave it an extra hour being held and cuddled and talked to. I have it's brother/sister and it is doing well but it was heartbreaking watching the little thing die. I'm sure there is a life lesson in the situation somewhere. Thanks all for your encouragement. I would definitely do it again! I felt so empowered when I watched it begin to breathe again after my first efforts to resucitate it...ah well it is probably better off because I doubt it would have ever been a strong chicken and may have suffered from ailments related to it's weakness. Again, though, would do it again.
