The status of birds amongst which a needle was found perforating a gizzard from side to side after all the birds had been salted and rinsed, with specific details.

There was a story that a woman salted 7 birds for a circumcision meal, and because the pan was small, she first salted 4 birds and after washing them she salted the 3 remaining birds, and also rinsed them. Then she put them altogether. And one of the family members who could not attend because he was in mourning she sent one bird as a gift. And after this, before she cooked them, she found in the gizzard of one of the birds a needle inserted from one side to the other side towards the outside, and they did not know from which bird came the gizzard. And the asked the rabbi what is the status of the birds, and the situation was told to the person in mourning and he also came to ask about the bird that was sent to him.
