Our family was driving home from Holiday world yesterday when we saw a chicken sitting on the side of the road! As we drove along looking for a place to turn around, we saw eight more chickens along the road, all dead. She appears to be young and she's VERY heavy so I assume she and the other chickens were bound for slaughter. :( She is injured but we are hopeful that she will pull through. Her wounds have been cleaned, and she doesn't have any broken bones, which is kind of a miracle. I mean she was thrown from a truck going anywhere from 60-70 mph!!
I am super angry to think that this kind of treatment is routine! Grrrrrr...
But, I don't want this to be a negative post. Please wish us well! I hope she will recover quickly, and hopefully I can give you all a happy update in the future.
PS Her name is Thunder Chicken :)
