Despite having a million raccoons down here, I could not find a single picture in my phone. Found just about every other animal though.

Plenty of opossums but I’ve never had a single one bother the chickens, so I release them. Raccoons I trap and kill. Only one chicken survived being wounded in a particularly brutal string of attacks. Yes, I sutured her with dental floss.

What is this meow kitty thing?
 
I want you to order some ND. For real...it's some powerful stuff.
Have you seen this yet?

I hadn't seen that post specifically, but I'm familiar with the concept. I get the chicks eating right away, on chick starter mixed with plain live-culture yogurt and boiled egg yolk. They're generally drinking immediately, with water that has ACV and vitamins in it - particularly, riboflavin. The powdered mix that I use is essentially a dry version of nutri-drench, just not the brand name.

Of the eight chicks that hatched, six were strong, robust, perfectly healthy chicks. Two were not. Both of those had leg trouble, came from visually similar eggs, and are distinct from the other six in their coloration and markings, leading me to think they came from the same hen. After a couple days of getting vitamins into them, they both recovered completely as far as their ability to walk goes. However, when I moved the chicks outside at three days old, I switched them to plain water. I shoudn't have done that - my fault. The one chick is doing great and growing fast. The other simply isn't, but it's still active, eating and drinking with good appetite. I'll be giving them a yogurt-egg treat tomorrow, as well.
