The bloody aftermath you see in these photos is the mother of eleven chicks. She has been a good mother, but she has been in a fight almost every day. Today is the first time that she had met her match. When I found her, she was on her back getting kicked in the face. She was exhausted and very near death. Her face and flesh wounds were full of dirt. This is how she looked after I cleaned her up. She is doing much better today...but, it is early in the day and she will probably keep 'protecting' her babies for a few more weeks. Good grief!!!
