Isn't she? Poor little thing nearly died a few days ago. I went out early (thankfully) to feed her and mom and I couldn't find her. Imagine trying to find that little thing in a huge garden. She was lying on the ground, not far from her stupid mom, peeping her heart out, absolutely frozen with cold. Poor thing couldn't even get up. I dropped the food bowl, grabbed her and ran back to the house, shouted for my DH to get the heat lamp on QUICK! The poor man was fumbling around for a caffeine hit when I stormed in LOL But we got the lamp up and I held her right under it, so the can get as much heat as possible. She warmed up and recovered after a few minutes and I gave her a drink and put her back with mom. I got her just in time. Thankfully!
Needless to say I'm keeping an eye on them both. Next time she does this I'm keeping that chick!
