Just did CPR on a chick Update: CPR chick died, second chick is good

[PAchickenlover]

I just had to do CPR on a chick that it's mom accidentally laid on ( she laid on its neck). After a few grueling minutes of CPR and a rush inside to my brooder and the heat lamp. The chick is breathing on its own and resting under the heat lamp. I will return it to mom when it is strong enough and can move around. And yes I will do it at night. Just thought I would share my exhilerating tale with everyone. PS if it makes it I am going to need a GOOD name for it. Suggestions?

Thanks It is starting to move its legs more now. I mean when I found it, the chick was not breathing and had no heartbeat. I am amazed that the CPR that I know for humans and cats and dogs worked to save this chick. I will post a picture soon.

I only know this because I went to a catholic grade school. You can call it Lazarus, you know, the guy Jesus brought back from the dead.

Cool name Lazarus! I like it but I will need a name for a hen too just in case.

Could call it MiMi considering the baby nearly gave you an MI (myocardial infarction/heart attack). Good luck with your baby.

ok here it is. I'll take pics as it progresses

I pray that it does.

Oh by the way it is a bantam/Frizzle cross. It's not even dry yet.
