Getting the flock out of here - a diary of a crazy chicken man

[ozexpat]

He has the ingredients on his webpage, but not the measurements. I think he posted them a while back though.

And let's see if this works.

i have modified the recipes a tad

A cat got into our brooder house last night and decimated the chicks that were hatched from the eggs I took over last trip. Just heads were eaten as the hole was not big enough to get chick through the hole.

These were my most precous birds. All but one Polish, five Legbars and all but 3 New Hampshires.

This is one of the few days since this adventure began that I ever felt like throwing in the towel.

Instead I will be throwing some MSG into a can of sardines.

Delurking to say I'm so sorry to hear that Oz. Are you sure it's a cat? Whatever it was, I hope you get the critter.
I've read your whole thread & it's very inspiring. If anyone has the fortitude to overcome a nasty setback, it sure is you.

I am pretty confident its a cat. ther are really no other options.

Hector our local bisaya crossed with basset has killed a few this month. Apparently there are a lot more that I was unaware of.
