| So this is my chicken Pepper, she has an amazing story, she survived a lot of pretty tough things. So one day I was doing the chores when I heard a chicken squawking. I knew something was wrong, and our puppy Mack heard it too. If it was a chicken being injured, Mack would attack the chicken, so I put him up, and headed to the barn to find our guard dog Samson shaking this poor chicken in his mouth, biting it and just being very viscous! I called Samson and he stopped attacking her, and ran over. I called my dad and he picked up the chicken lying in the field. I thought she was dead but when he brought her over, she was alive! I found no wounds on her, or broken bones, so I gave her some water, and put her on the roost. Our chicken Bailey came right next to Pepper and just stayed with her, all night. When I came to check on her in the morning, all the chickens were awake and ready for their scratch. Every chicken but Bailey and Pepper! They were still huddled together. I put my hand up to Pepper, because I noticed some dried blood on her, but Bailey pecked me as soon as I touched her! She didn't want me touching her friend, but I had to see her wound so i just went for it and grabbed Pepper. I checked where the blood was, and it was a deep gash in her neck! I brought her to my dad and he was surprised that she was still alive! We put some purple spray on her and that was all we could do, it was not bleeding and she just stayed with Bailey and they went and joined the other chickens who were eating scratch. After a couple of weeks, her wound healed and she is doing fine today! She and Bailey are still buddies and are happy as ever! So happy birthday Pepper! I love you! |
