    Those birds are indeed beautiful. Thanks for sharing! Here is an update: The birds are 6 weeks old as of yesterday... One thing after another, here's what we have now... 6 chicks, 2 goslings, and 4 ducklings. My poults didn't make it, they were too fragile compared to the other birds...

    That's what I've been doing to make sure they dry off completely. I don't fill it past where they can reach, either. They just love the water so much I hate to not allow them some playtime.

    Day 8 The weak chick passed away sometime in the night. I'm thankful, though, that she isn't struggling anymore. Now at least all the others are doing equally well. They all run around playing, chase after each other when I give them a treat, and are growing so fast. I love them!

    Day 4-7 They are all doing wonderfully except the one chick who's been weak all along. She takes herself to eat and drink, but she is certainly not thriving like the others. All the chicks are growing, playing, and feathering out, but she isn't growing, sleeps a lot, and has little sad...

    Thank you! This is good information! I'm hearing a lot of good things about ACV so I'll double check it's safety(like for the turkeys, I mean) and plan to start giving them some once they're 7 weeks. I haven't purchased the feeder and waterer they'll be using as adults so I'll be careful about...

    Great news! Soon after adding the sugar to their water, they were all dashing around, and I could hardly tell a difference between the sick chick and the others. They're all doing fantastic this morning, I've cleaned out their brooder already, and changed out their water again. I'll try and get...

    Thank you for the suggestions. I know what you mean when you say "like little rockets" cause I've noticed them doing that already. It's pretty hilarious. I went ahead and added sugar to their water, like you said. I understand what you mean about them eating, drinking, and moving around more...

    Thank you for the reply. I followed your advice and they apologized for the oversight and gave me credit. The sick chick has gotten up by herself to get a drink and is back asleep. Hoping she makes it!

    The day has finally arrived! The post office called and said my chickens were ready to be picked up, so my awesome dad drove me there and we went to pick them up. Once we had gotten back home, having already prepared everything, I prodeeded to have them each drink some water(with...
