By Shawn Patrick Jan 23, 2021 A Colorado woman had a decision to make regarding the life of her pet chicken named Blue. Seleta Nothnagel takes Blue with her to run errands, bringing the bird into places like Home Depot or Joann Fabric. The 2-year-old Blue Maran chicken regularly dresses up for the outings, often sporting a heart-covered dress and matching diaper. The 5-pound fowl loves cheese, Pop Tart crusts, strawberries, and watermelon. It also needed to have emergency surgery. In March, Blue didn't seem like herself. She seemed tired, short of breath, and didn't want to cuddle. A former veterinary tech, Nothnagel knew to act on her concerns over Blue's health. She took Blue to multiple veterinarians for blood tests, X-rays, ultrasounds, and echocardiograms trying to discover what was wrong with her beloved bird. Eventually, a CT scan did find that Blue had a congenital heart defect.

Nothnagel, 37, bought Blue at a feed store for about $12, but she doesn't treat the chicken like some simple farm bird. Blue lives with Nothnagel inside her Wellington, Colo. home, and has a place to sleep on Nothnagel's bedside table. The 5-pound bird loves cheese, Pop Tart crusts, strawberries, and watermelon.
