Chickens

About three months ago we got eight baby chicks from the local feed store. They had four different kinds of chicks and we got two of each kind. We got white leghorns, buff orthingtons, black australorps, and red leghorns.

Thomas loves chickens and we have enjoyed watching them grow. They reside out in our back yard in a chicken coop that Tom built.

On Sunday, Thomas was outside playing and he accidently stepped on one of the black chickens. He came in to the house very upset because it had ripped the skin from underneath the chickens neck.

I wasn’t sure what to do. So, I googled “chicken wound” and found several sites that said it was treatable but the closest thing I had to what they recommended was Bactine spray.

So, we had a prayer for the chicken (the first time I have prayed for one and not over one :o)) and we sprayed it with the spray. I am happy to say that it is now Thursday and the chicken is doing fine. She doesn’t look as pretty as she once did but is thriving with the rest of the chickens.

God cares even about the little things.
