Just over a week ago a mother chicken and her chick were rescued in Torteval.

The mother now named Catherine was extremely weak and thin when she was found and wouldn't have survived if the kind member of public hadn't rescued her and her daughter who is now called Charlotte in the cold weather we have been experiencing.

Both birds are doing very well and putting on weight every day.
