Sorry, I've been sick (it's probably Norovirus) so I haven't felt up to getting them. But I will!

Hope you feel better!

It’ll make them sick... I believe dirty water is what has made some of our chickens sick in the past.

Mine have never gotten sick from it but I don’t like leave dirty water around or anything. It’s just sometimes if it rains or whatever or if I am filling the waterer and it overflows or whatever, they will drink from the puddles or the overflow on the ground rather than the fresh, clean bowl. They do drink from the bowl too but seem to love drinking from mud puddles instead. but they all soak back into the ground fairly quickly sothey don’t really get more than a few sips usually. They mostly drink the clean water. But they just like puddles. And also when they are free ranging they will drink out of any source available. I try to make sure the only source available are fresh bowls or pools multiple places.

Duck water is different than a mud puddle. They poop, put food, and sorts of stuff in it. It’s gross

Good for you, hope it stays that way. Mine have. I clean constantly and have a huge yard. I will never get mallard derived ducks again.

So cute and tiny.

I don’t know what breed they are. I need names for them. One keeps jumping into its water dish.

I’ll get pics of the aviary tomorrow @muddy75 once the rose bush is trimmed and I have more in it. These quail need to go outside.
