Breac's journal about life in and out of her coop. Starring Chickens, turkeys, and the occasional goose.
One Day Late
Ugh, I keep forgetting to write. This entry is one day late.
I went out to the coop after school got out, and I went in to see the turkeys first. They ran away from me, but when Dad came in, Jenny sat right down. I was kinda jealous. Luckily after Dad left Jenny was still in the mood to be petted, so I sat her on my lap and started scratching her head. He fowl pox is finally clearing up, which is great. Fowl Pox is what I first suspected, but I didn't want to jump to conclusions.
Burby is still with the main flock and doing fine. Oreo's getting worse though. He falls down more often, and it's harder for him to get up. I'm afraid I may have to put him down. If there ever comes a day when he can't get up, I'll know it's time.
Pearl has a head-wound. It's a giant, bloody scab on the top of her head. The last time I was out, I put the yellow sweater on her, and it wasn't there, so I know it's recent. I first noticed when she ran behind me when Sophie pecked her head. I picked her up and there it was. I also noticed that her face was all puffy and swollen.
Dad wouldn't let her come home. He said to just put some neosporin on it and separate her. I wish I could have her at home to keep a close eye on her and give her some TLC.
