Solving Omlet Smart Auto Door Timing Issues with Alexa Routines

[MadMitch]

Happily watching my girls out in the garden this afternoon when a buzzard swooped over my head and took out one of my welsummers. She only managed to escape as the angle it was flying at took it straight into the electric fence and it got tangled up for a while. Took me all afternoon to find the 12 chickens and I now have one very shaken chicken.

The dilemma I have is that I only ride a motorbike and the nearest vets is 20 miles away. I have checked her over and she obviously has some talon wounds but none seem really deep. I've covered everything I can see with antiseptic wound powder and after an hours nurse have put her in the cat box in the study as she is very bald and shook up.

Do you think that the wounds are likely to heal ok as I really dont think ill be able to get her to the vets and the last time I called them out it coste me £100.

Oh my goodness! I'm in the next county to you! We do get a lot of Red Kites soaring over our land off the mountains & we think that they keep the Buzzards away? How absolutely awful for you.

Hope your Welsummer makes it.

 

A few weeks back I was turning the hens out from their walk in run to their mobile grass pens, across the garden. I thought it very odd that they were not larking about flying up and down the lawn before going in their run. I called them and rattled the corn. Nope, they were all hiding under the cube (which is outside the WIR). We back onto glorious farmland and then I noticed that the resident crows were "seeing off" buzzards - very high up - but my ex-batts instinctively knew to keep hidden! Don't suppose they'd seen many buzzards in their cages.
