80 Year Old Woman Adopts Chick Abandoned by Racist Hen
Mrs Zella Dawson from Bloomery rescues a black chick from its abusive mother after hatching with 12 yellow siblings. The chick named Dean grew into a hen that lays pastel green eggs and returns home each evening to sleep in a paper bag bed. Dean, fondly watched by Dawson, lives with the Fred Crane family on a small Romney West Virginia farm. Dawson, who will turn 81, tends Dean nightly and notes she is the only chick to reach laying age.
