Esmeralda survives
NZPA London A deep-frozen chicken called Esmeralda has been found alive after two weeks in cold storage. Workers at a meat processing plant accidentally packed her into a sack with dead chickens and put it in
the freezer. When the sack was finally opened the still-breathing Esmeralda was rushed to a chicken-fancier, Irene McCulloch, who keeps 18 of the birds at her home in the western England village of Leigh-on-Mendip. “She was in a terrible
state but I massaged her little legs and she gradually recovered,” she' said. “Esmeralda probably survived because she was in the middle of the sack of chickens and their feathers kept her just warm enough to stay alive.”
