By Gaya Goldberg<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Sophia arrived at me\u00a0in a fatal, critical condition. She suffered from Rickets \u2013 a common disease among battery caged chickens.<\/p>\n

The long imprisonment in the cage, the massive egg laying which is forced upon them and lack of vitamin D \u2013 make their bones so soft that chickens lose their movement ability.<\/p>\n

\"DSCF0242\"Sophia couldn’t manage to walk and even had a hard time stabilizing herself when attempting to sit.<\/p>\n

Her left foot was completely limp and lacked vitality. Her comb was pale and sloping.<\/p>\n

I\u00a0still remember the diagnosis of one villager who stated with certainty – \u201cThat’s it, she’s finished\u201d – but I\u00a0didn’t give up, and neither did Sophia.<\/p>\n

After a month of intense treatment which included rich nutrition, sun bathing, physiotherapy and of course \u2013 the critical component: lots of love. Sophia, the little fighter began to fidget and limp.<\/p>\n

After a few months, while Sophia was getting better and her walking had improved, a foot infection was discovered. The antibiotic treatment failed and there was only one option \u2013 a thumb removal surgery.<\/p>\n

Sophia, the brave fighter, successfully passed this procedure as well.<\/p>\n

She’s still struggling to move freely, but it seems that it doesn’t bother nor hinder her much. In spite of her handicap she became a strong, dominant, chatty and happy chicken.<\/p>\n
