My chicks gave me a heart attack!

[HensInHouston]

I got home yesterday, checked on the chicks, and noticed that one of the chicks had a huge bald spot on her back. Omg the other chicks were picking on my baby I wrapped her in a towel and put her in my cleavage while I ran around like a mad woman getting first aid stuff and set up a hospital box for her.
So I start cleaning her "wound" and realize her sisters weren't picking at her. They POOPED on her and the poop was making her feathers stick to her skin making it look like she was bald
So I cleaned her off and gave her a blow dry and all was right in our house again

Glad she was only pooped on!
Get used to the heart attacks! Omg, is that chicken dead? No, just sprawled out dust bathing.... Omg, all that screaming in the coop, a predator? Nope, just a new layer screeching her egg song... And honestly, sometimes I think they kick up a fuss just to make me go over there...
