Why did the chicken cross the road?!?!

To get to the vet's office!!!! A dear friend of mine answered her cell phone: "Trauma Center, Can I help you?" Not unused to a different greeting , yet still surprised to hear the phrase trauma center I asked her what was going on. As most country folk know there will times when another animal gets into your chicken coop. That happened to my friend today. She went back to the coop and found that something had made itself at home and killed many of her chickens. She found one in the back corner hiding because it was seriously hurt. Devastated that her dear chickens were killed she immediately rushed the chicken to the vet where her oldest daughter works. Now, if you know anything about this woman she honestly did not think the silly creature was going to live, but wanted the vet to put her down as humane as possible. She firmly believes in treating animals with kindness and is as great an example of womanhood as anyone could hope for. Well, as she brought it in they took the chicken into the back...much to the horror of the eldest daughter who does not like chickens. She asked her to put the chicken down and then vet thought she could save it. Picture a chicken with an IV to it. Honestly, my friend is fine, but tends to laugh at the bad in life. Here comes the funny part...the chicken laid two eggs while at the vet's office....WOW!!!! So, we lead a very crazy life here in good ol' Cali. I will update you if the chicken made it through the night....who knows what will happen?!?!
