@BantyChooks I you are like me you need help for the conversion so I looked it up for you. So 9 grams of salt is about 2 teaspoons of salt per liter or about four and a quarter cups.

I knew you were done after I caught up (I am working so I am slow, but I figured others might benefit from having it converted).

No, no, no, no, no. This isn't real. It CAN'T be.

I went out to check on my chickens and Tucson and Heather were dead. They had their throats cut and mangled. Chrissy is badly hurt but alive. One BSL hen dead, and Emma has injured toes.

Just.... Dead. My babies.

I can't take this.

I flushed that beast out of his lair with boiling water and ether before removing his head with a shovel. Call me cruel if you wish, but I don't regret it.

Yep. I had pre-done mixes handy, or I'd have been racking my brain, trying to remember the conversions...

Sure.

Chrissy is doing a bit better. Washing the wounds revealed they were not quite as terrible.... She has quite a bit of swelling on her neck, so she has a hard time turning her head, but she doesn't have large chunks taken out. She does have puncture wounds tho so I'm going to make extra sure those get triple antibiotic ointment in them daily. I think what happened to her leg is the same thing that my last trio had happen to em.... Some tendon nicked, maybe. Whatever it was it healed after keeping them confined for a while.

If she seems to have a really hard time eating because she's sore, cook up a scrambled egg and blend it in the blender with some vitamin water to make an egg smoothie. It's easy to swallow and delivers much needed birds. I made these mixes every day while Mira was in the house healing.

Thanks

To top it off, my guineas got to the sultan's pen and tried to murder them again.

I was in front of the coop, trying to gas the beastie.... You can imagine my sheer panic when I heard them screaming!

Quote: This whole sad scenario broke while I was in the blind, hunting, where I couldn't post. I wanted to suggest you post a picture of the critter so we could identify it, I'm surprised no one suggested it earlier, but Benny, as usual, came through. I hope you got to Chrissy in time to nurse her back to health

Thank you, me too.

I feel terrible I didn't hear anything.....
