This is from today's CNN website

Kiss of life makes Boo Boo the chicken better

Wednesday, February 8, 2006; Posted: 7:06 a.m. EST (12:06 GMT)

 

   
ARKADELPHIA, Arkansas (AP) -- This chicken had lips, just not her own.

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 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.

I would think it would be easier to wrap your lips around a chickens beak... as opposed to a ducks beak. Those ducks and geese get mighty nasty when they try and bite! I sure wouldn't attempt it!
My vote is a chicken would be easier! LOL

I never said a thing about GEESE!  I HATE geese!  I have horrible childhood memories of getting chased by those things.
