New rescued chicken (graphic pics)

Oh, my! How wonderful that you came upon the chicken, because you know what to do for her. Get well soon, white chicken.

How sweet of you to rescue her. Do you think with some room to roam and being put on a diet she could lose some weight and therefore extend her lifespan?

These chickens if fed a very restrictive diet given exercise and room to roam have been known to live up to 2 years. Still very short but they will die at the age of 10 weeks of a heart attack if fed too much.

Oosh, seeing those pictures sent shivers down my spine. I guess I can relate to her, as road rash is very familiar to me. What a lucky girl! Both in the fact that her injuries could have been much worst and that you two crossed paths.
Thanks so much for stopping for this pretty girl and giving her a home to live out the rest of her life in, no matter how long she lives.
Has she received a name yet?

How traumatic that must have been for her to fall from a truck but I'm so glad you stopped to save her and that she won't be slaughtered.
I once saved a duck that I used to drive by every day on my way to work. It was all alone (no other ducks) and had an injured wing. The house was a wreck and the yard was full of junk and old cars. I kept hoping that the people who owned him would get him some help but week after week nothing changed. This duck spent all it's time sitting next to one of the tires on a beat up old truck. I found out later when I finally approached them about the duck that they thought he (Fred) did that because he had become 'friends' with his reflection in the hubcap of the wheel because he was lonely. That broke my heart. I loaded up a small dog crate into my truck and drove up their driveway and told them that I had a friend who was 'looking' for a male duck to keep his female duck company and that he would pay 50.00 if they would be 'willing' to part with Fred. They didn't even blink an eye and helped me load him into the carrier. I didn't actually have a friend who was looking for a duck but I had lined up a person who was willing to take him that already had an assortment of ducks and geese that he had rescued. These ducks and geese have a good life with him and their own pond to swim in etc.. I checked in on Fred a few weeks later and he had his very own harem of female ducks and was one happy guy! They had also addressed the injury to his wing and he was on the mend.
Have you named your chicken yet? Maybe you could name her 'Road-a' because of where you found her.
