Chicken saved by mouth to beak CPR

Chicken saved by mouth-to-beak CPR

A retired nurse saved her brother's chicken, Boo Boo, by administering mouth-to-beak resuscitation last week after the fowl was found floating face down in the family's pond. Marian Morris said she hadn't had any practice with cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in years, but she was interested to see if she "still had it". "I breathed into its beak, and its dadgum eyes popped open," Morris said. "I breathed into its beak again, and its eyes popped open again. I said, 'I think this chicken's alive now. Keep it warm.'" She said she did not know how to find a pulse on a chicken. Boo Boo's owners, Jackie and Becky Calhoun, put her in a large cardboard box containing a grain feeder and water. They also placed a heater nearby. The chicken is called Boo Boo because she is easily frightened. The Calhouns thought Boo Boo was startled and flopped into the pond. -- Sapa-AP

This reminds me of the episode of the Simpsons. With the guinea pig and the vet.
