That Was A Close One
I had already lost Raven and one of the turkens is not well. I round the corner to feed the chickens like usual and Tina Turken is overheating. She is already in the stage of unable to stand up. I drop everything I am doing and turn the water hose on her. I get her good and drenched. I picked her up and held her for a little bit because I really did not think she was going to make it, so I wanted her last moments to be filled with love. I put her back down in the water and continued to get the water good into the feathers and on her neck and all over her. I was just trying to cool her off. Her skin was so red. I knew she was too hot. She did start to cool off. I knew she was cooling off because her skin color started changing. She finally got tired of me messing with her, so she was strong enough and got up and walked away. I was so happy to see that. She was still weak, but she made it to the sheep and goat pen. She sat back down. I came back by a little while later and put more water on her. Then she went over into another corner. I moved her to a cooler place. I then decided to go ahead and put her in with Prada and. Louie in front of the fan. That did the trick. Tina cooled off quickly after that and got up and started moving around. Louie was happy to see her. I am so glad she is okay. That would have been devastating for so many reasons. Louie had to make sure she was okay, too. She will be staying with the goats at least the rest of the evening. She may stay there the next few days because of the fan situation. I do not want to do that again. She might hate that though. We will see.
