Hello DragonFroggy! I am in Plant City!

 

[jessica17]

I have Mille Fleur Duccles, with a couple Key West Gypsys in their pen. Some Dark Brahmas, Black Australorps, white Brahmas and Speckled Sussex all together, the Specks have to be my favorite, they are SO inquisitive! The others are all random cresteds and two Crevecouers. Until a couple days ago I thought the Crevecouers were hens, now, one has the little red horns, they are pretty neat chickens. We just recently finished the chicken house, the other had just about fallen apart and I had no way to separate them, now I have an infirmary cage and a nest box cage. It is a work in progress

Shouting out one more time to see if anyone wants anything! I have some bantam full blooded but mixed chicks, 2 Khaki Campbell Ducklings solid brown 1 week old, button quail, and coturnix quail. I will be leaving from Lake City driving down 75 to brooksville then going across the state and down south to fort pierce via 95. If you're along the way and are interested in anything let me know as I'll be making my way down tomorrow!!!!

Almost had tragedy to my little flock yesterday!

Came home to find Cinny Minnie, my New Hamphshire, floating in the pool, but dry and sitting upright with her head thrown back and still. I got her out with the net and she was limp but I noticed and eye slowly close and her feathers ruffle so I wrapped her up in a towel and then held her close to me for body warmth while I scrounged up the other two and put them in the coop. She just laid limp and kept letting hr head fall back into that awful extended position but I wrapped her up and sat her in the pet carrier taxi. As The kids and I (and even DH who professes not to care) checked on her, she did this slow head weaving and wobbling and kept her eyes closed, but it wobbled less as the evening progressed. This am she was sitting upright, still wrapped and holding her head up and still. She appeared bright eyed and alertand when I open the door of the carrier she clucked and I unwrapped her and she walked out and over to the other girls and scratched and pecked like nothing had ever happened! She had even laid an egg in the carrier while wrapped up! ( it was soft though). Watching her today, she free ranges with the others and looks none the worse for wear.

I have seen all three of the chickens lean forward and drink from the pool many times, but maybe something spooked her and she fluttered in or maybe one of the others jostled her and she fell in. She must have been exhausted from paddling around and couldn't climb out of the pool on her own.

That's quite a story!
I hope she remains well!
