One of the joys of living in the South is being able to experience true miracles like the following:


(Associated Press) ARKADELPHIA, Ark. — This chicken had lips, just not her own.
A retired nurse saved her brother’s chicken, Boo Boo, by administering mouth-to-beak resuscitation last week after the fowl was found floating face down in the family’s pond.
Marian Morris said she hadn’t had any practice with CPR in years, but she was interested to see if she “still had it.”
“I breathed into its beak, and its dadgum eyes popped open,” Morris said. “I breathed into its beak again, and its eyes popped open again. I said, ‘I think this chicken’s alive now. Keep it warm.’”
She said she did not know how to find a pulse on a chicken.
Boo Boo’s owners, Jackie and Becky Calhoun, put her in a large cardboard box containing a grain feeder and water. They also placed a heater nearby.
The chicken is called Boo Boo because she is easily frightened. The Calhouns think Boo Boo was startled and flopped into the pond.

Clearly not Black. Or a member of my family. CPR? KFC.

From what I understand, they celebrated the miraculous event by slaughtering the Boo Boo and making some nuggets. Saving lives never tasted so good!

i saw this article. mouth to beak :fallof:

In reality, I think it would be better to let it die, well I am just saying, what with bird flu and all that, she took a big health risk doing what she did.

it was probably the garlic bread she had for lunch.

Do you think they will get married now?
Dont people from there marry donkeys and stuff like that?

Yeah I really would have thought if something like that happened they would have used it as an excuse to eat it.

It dont really seem like she was thinking of the health risks...

what a lovely story. CBorgman would be proud!

this is headline news simply because someone in the world was found who still uses the word "dadgum".

My mom still says stuff like "I swanee" whatever the hell that means. She grew up on a farm with 11 brothers and sisters. Her father sold a parcel of land now worth millions for a couple of bottles of moonshine.

well....land o'goshen.

I think I'm going to eat chicken tonight. Not sure if I'm going to attempt to resuscitate it first.
