Bu-Gawk! Uegene Safken says he let his chickens out of their coop outside of Collbran, Colo., and went into his house for a cup of coffee. When he came back, he found one of his birds drowned in a tub of water in the yard. He fished the young chicken out of the water and thought, “what the heck, I’ll give it a shot,” and gave it mouth-to-beak resuscitation. His girlfriend told him to give it up. “Leave the chicken alone; it’s dead,” Denise Safford says she told him. But, he said, “I wouldn’t let that damn thing die.” It worked: the chicken, he says, came back to life and is now fine. It wasn’t so bad, he says. “I’ve kissed worse.” (Grand Junction Sentinel) Available in This is True: Book Collection Vol. 11
