    Headache on shipping ducklings?

    Well this problem solved itself. But the first day I had them when they were weak they kept going to sleep with their noses in the blue tray thing. It was funny to a point. They quit doing that now... (I think). Thanks for talking with me about it. But surprisingly they are going through...

    Headache on shipping ducklings?

    Well I have 2 water setups. One is just one of those little chick feeders. I probably have it backwards though. I have water in that blue tray though most put the chick feeder in it. They seem to like it that way. The feed is in that jar thing. And in pic 3487 I'd cut holes in those plastic jugs...

    Headache on shipping ducklings?

    This tap water issue they could solve if they really wanted to. That's what's so sad about it. But a lot of the more socialist countries have worse tap water than we do. I'd found out recently Canada's tap water is really bad, like Flint Michigan kind of bad in quite a few areas. Its strange...

    Headache on shipping ducklings?

    LOL Thanks. And yes, things are working out. After the initial losses things improved after using the egg yolk and sugar tricks that you all gave to me as ideas. I wanted to confirm that these ideas worked. And I can't say that I know yet about what the difference between weak and sleepy...

    Headache on shipping ducklings?

    This is amazing that you know so much, after learning from your own adversity. Also follow up question; does it matter which type of sugar it is? You mentioned brown sugar, but I'm curious if it mattered if it was that type of sugar or some other.

    Headache on shipping ducklings?

    Thanks I'll do that. I still like this hatchery. I hope people don't think bad of them. Utah also our summer heat is atrocious because its dry heat, not a lot of green out here also. So if someone else had shipped them, I think it would have been the same result. Wondering what's up with...

    Headache on shipping ducklings?

    Have no idea how that is even possible. Are you sure that's not one of those, "I caught a fish thisss BIG,' stories? It would be nice if that's true however. Thanks for trying to encourage us.

    OK, trying to work this phone camera thing. I'm new to this. And there's red light from the warming lamp. Sorry... Image 0281 is alive but just weak. I've got several others weak just like that. I'm not sure how weak is something I should be alarmed about. But something interesting is that...

    Headache on shipping ducklings?

    Hi! Yeah, they came this morning. I picked them up about 2 hours ago. The order was for 12 of them. There were 15 in the box. But already 6 are dead, 1 has niacin like seizures, and there's about 3 more that look really weak. I'm trying to figure out how to use my phone camera. And hope to...

    Headache on shipping ducklings?

    A green food gel? Nice. I hope it will work then. I didn't know about that gel stuff. Its kind of cool. I'm hoping they put in the gel calculated on how many animals are in there, and not just wing it?

    Headache on shipping ducklings?

    Question; I had ordered ducklings from a company. Things looked like they were going well. 2 days ago (Tuesday), I got a message that they were overnighting them to me. They said I should get them Thursday. Today is Thursday. The mail came. No mail pickup notice. (There should be a card of...
