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
