This will be quick...I just had to share my first catastrophe with my chickens today. I went out to check on them and they had knocked over their feeder and the container part that holds the food seperated from the base. To my horror one of the chicks was inside the container and it was stuck!! I baited it with food and tried to "pour" it out both with no luck. I was starting to really stress. As humanely as I could I tried pulling by her little tail and butt and she still wouldn't budge. Now I'm basically freaking out. I call my parents telling them "emergency .... chicken ...stuck...help....hurry hurry!" My mom was concerned that I had hurt myself, which with hysterical phone call she had every reason to think that. I ended up speeding over to my parents house in my pjs with a chicken in a jar on my passenger seat. Think a miniature ship in a bottle....but with a chick. I get to my parents house and my parents and uncle try to make me calm down assuring my chick will be all right. We ended up having to cut her out of the container. Poor thing, now named "Stucky", was scared and confused...but alive! I could now dry my eyes from the tears I'm not ashamed to admit to. All is well and Stucky is back safe with her family.
