Surviving Minnesota!

http://www.poultrysupplies.com/index_files/Page435.htm I use the little Giant low pressure water system . Those flat looking ones . You eventually have to learn how to trouble shoot them . The chicks still fill them with stuff . Chips , feed and such .

I turned the ducks loose yesterday . They went back in at dark . I am sure that will change in time . No duck eggs yet . Maybe some free range will help . Put chicks with my broody . Seems to be working . I shut the front of the nest and left her with 8 chicks for most of the day . Then put her in a broody cage with them .

You have a great idea there. I could put the waterer in the middle of a pan filled with the chick grit. The water would collect under the grit and the chicks could eat grit!


I could put a little ACV in the grit to control algae. When I see water in the rocks I just dump it!!


Thanks for the great Idea.

Do they spill much water with those?
