There was a neat program on PBS last month called The Natural History of the Chicken. It was very entertaining. There was a story about a woman who tracked a lost hen in the snow, only to find her feets-up under a porch. She took the frozen hen home and propped her up on the table while she went to find a box in which to bury her. Not long after, returning with the box, she realized the hen was still alive, albeit barely. She gave the bird mouth-to-mouth (or is that mouth-to-beak?) and the hen survived.
