Mouth-To-Beak Resuscitation Saves ChickenARKADELPHIA, Ark. -- Sometimes a chicken does have lips, just not her own. Marian Morris saved her brother's exotic chicken, Boo Boo, by administering mouth-to-beak resuscitation on the fowl after it was found floating faced down in the family's pond. Morris, a retired nurse in Arkadelphia, Ark., said she hadn't had any practice with CPR in years. But her experience with the chicken taught her she "still had it." For Boo Boo's sake, Morris said she's glad she still can do it. Morris said, "I breathed into its beak, and its dad-gum eyes popped open. I breathed into its beak again, and its eyes popped open again." She told her brother to keep the bird warm. Morris said the chicken is called Boo Boo because the bird is easily frightened. The family figures Boo Boo was startled and flopped into the pond. . www.wral.com/family/6842965/detail.html

This isn't that unusual. My sister and I used to raise a few 4-H sheep. Sometimes getting a newborn lamb to breath takes a little mouth-to-mouth. I've done it a few times. Never tried it with a chicken, though. When a chicken has breathing problems it's normally because I've just removed it's head.
