Truck driver Warren Padgette was driving down the highway in Washington and saw an unusual sight: a chicken, lying limp in the middle of the road. Padgette approached the fallen bird, assuming she was dead. But then her eyes blinked, and he knew he was looking at a survivor.
The chicken had fallen off a truck headed to the slaughterhouse. But instead of being killed that day, she made a new best friend, who took her home for a refreshing bath and blow-dry.
Padgette and the chicken — now aptly named Lucky — are inseparable these days. She loves to cuddle and perch on his shoulder. She looks like a whole new bird now, no longer pumped with hormones and plagued with bald patches from the inhumane factory farm conditions.

This is a beautiful story. Dear Warren and Lucky and little foster chicks, may you be happy together every day. Chickens are precious and so are those who see them for who they are – intelligent, sensitive, loving birds. Thank you for giving Lucky a chance to experience Life as something other than misery and cruelty.

Thank you Warren. Thank you! There is hope in humanity yet.
what a sweetheart of a guy.
god bless you warren (my grandfather’s name)! i have 2 hens for eggs. they are lovely little animals. it is nice to have good news.
Isn’t it remarkable how a tiny helpless creature can captivate a big strong man? They each learned so much from the other, including respect, trust and love. God bless ’em both. I hope they have plenty years together.
Warren you are an awesome human being and you have made my week my friend. I also wish we could save them all. The deplorable conditions these and many other poor factory farm animals are put through is sickening and should be illegal. You should be extremely proud of yourself, you made a difference in one very “LUCKY” chickens life. Bless you.

God Bless this kind gentleman for rescuing an injured animal. The world needs many more of this kind of human being.
the chicken escaped, and was lucky enough that warren was there, and was compassionate. there are many many more injured. go vegan: https://www.facebook.com/donotbecruelvegan/
This is wonderful, I wish they could ALL be rescued. I haven’t eaten chicken or any meat in maybe 20 years, and I DON’T miss it! If everyone went vegan or vegetarian, those slaughter houses would all go out of business.
only vegan will stop the cruelty :'(

The sweetest story+what a special man that is! Still waiting on that lab meat in our supermarkets so billions of chickens+other animals won’t ever see the inside of a disgusting factory farm-transport truck or laughterhouse.
