Boo Boo, the chicken who was revived after she was found floating face down in the family pond in February, died recently, said owner Jackie Calhoun. The fowl's story was featured on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and the Animal Planet network. "She had seizures," Calhoun said. "I've come to the conclusion that's what put her in the pond in the first place." In February, Calhoun said he removed the chicken from the water and his sister Marian Morris blew into its beak, causing its eyes to pop open. Morris, a retired nurse, said she hadn't used cardiopulmonary resuscitation in years. She said she was glad that the chicken she saved was exotic and not just an ordinary chicken. The chicken, who was named Boo Boo because she was easily frightened, lived to lay three eggs before dying, Calhoun said. Until then, Calhoun said he didn't know if the bird was male or female. "We incubated one of her eggs, and it hatched," Calhoun said. "The chick has black and white markings like Boo Boo's."   Parkbench87 Citizen Username: Parkbench87 Post Number: 4236 Registered: 7-2001 Posted on Wednesday, May 24, 2006 - 10:57 am:        That chicken couldn't hold a candle to the original Boo Boo   Ima Perplecks Citizen Username: Victor Post Number: 42 Registered: 6-2005 Posted on Wednesday, May 24, 2006 - 11:21 am:        Boo Hoo   Calliope Citizen Username: Calliope Post Number: 266 Registered: 3-2006 Posted on Thursday, May 25, 2006 - 8:53 pm:        RIP Boo Boo Here is a link to her appearance on the "Tonight Show" http://humboldthens.blogspot.com/2006/04/jay-leno-arkadelphia-chicken-video.html
