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.

Yesterday we told you about Dude a very sick old stray cat that was found on the Bridge in St Sampson's.
He has just arrived back from the vets having had some tests and is a very tired lad so is currently asleep after a long day.
We are pleased that thankfully he has tested negative for feline aids and leukemia, but we have discovered he has high blood pressure which has resulted in his eyes hemorrhaging which has caused a loss in his sight.
We are awaiting further results which include tests for his thyroid and renal.
