He really was a miracle, wasn't he? I hope he managed to enjoy his natural lifespan after he got his freedom, though the sensible thing would have been to return to his foster Dad where food is supplied!

I've never read that story before. H...Aww .... I've never read that story before. How wonderful.<br /><br />I remember getting back from a break to the news from my Dad that we had two chicks hatched from under our Pekin Bantam hen, I asked what had happened to the others and he said ' I threw them in the compost bin when they didn't hatch on the same day'. I walked over to the compost bin with a heavy heart but unlike Red, the other two tiny chicks were dead in their shells, they had all died once they had been removed from the nest, I felt so guilty for not explaining to my parents that the eggs would hatch over the course of a couple of days and not all at once.<br /><br />Red sounds like a real little trouper. A little new life puts perspective into the world doesn't it.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04177854521955532744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-52121615714782870772014-11-25T15:05:33.607+00:002014-11-25T15:05:33.607+00:00That one gave me the chills.
