Chicken Soup

I'm a little under the weather. All I wanted to do was curly up with some chicken soup to feel better. Although allowed to curl up. . . it was with a whole chicken. Yep, you read correct. She may not have crossed the road, but one of our ladies did apparently cross paths with Gus. Not exactly sure what happened (they have been use to each other for over a month now) but I was called out by family to care for the situation. After coaxing her out from under the porch, I wrapped her in a bath towel and held her close and still. She was in obvious shock. Not sure if she was going to make it, the kids and I prayed for her to have peace and gave the situation over to God. After a while she livened up, so I took her to the back yard. She walked around fine yet hesitantly. She eagerly entered the hen house. I waited and watched. When I returned there was another egg. She is perched for bed time and doing great. Without the marking (to easily see which one was injured) you would be hard pressed to know which one she was.
