A ‘miracle’ chicken destined for the Christmas dinner table is set to celebrate the festive season in style after surviving a horror lorry crash on the way to the slaughter house. The world’s luckiest bird, dubbed Mrs Senga Culfeathers, is now being cared for at the Maggie Fleming Animal Hospice after being rescued last month.
Charity owner Alexis Fleming told how the bird now rules the roost at the sanctuary in Kirkcudbright, Dumfries and Galloway, where she’s now on a special diet to help her lose weight. The broiler chicken somehow survived after the lorry she was being transported in crashed into a house on the A75 in Crocketford on November 21.
It is understood that thousands of other birds died in the hours following the five-vehicle collision with no sign of any survivors. Alexis, 41, raced to the scene after learning about the crash the following day but was met with a scene of bloody devastation.
