NAKED HEN + COMFY JUMPER = YAY!

Buffy the Hen used to live in such close proximity to her neighbors that her feathers rubbed off, to the point where she looked "oven ready." But the oven was not yet her destiny. Members of England's Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals rescued poor Buffy and provided her with more spacious quarters, and food to tickle a chicken's fancy. Someone even knitted her a comfy striped jumper to keep her warm until her feathers grow back. Emma Phillips, deputy director of the Brent Knoll rescue center where Buffy resides, has stepped into the role of "foster mum" until Buffy's back to 100%.

Yes, many, many people have devoted many, many hours to rescue this survivor of the Holocaust on Your Plate. And Buffy? Well, despite her trauma, Buffy is much improved. Now she likes to "peck, and scratch about, and tries to join the other chickens sunbathing...."

[Editor: Not to be outdone, the Manchester chapter of RSPCA has rescued, and knitted a colorful scarf for, a forlorn ham sandwich on rye.]

Did you see the interview Jay Leno did with the woman who resuscitated a dying chicken? Absolutely hilarious.
