➡I accidentally bought Balut eggs: 2 live ducks! Now a Chat Thread!

Time to break out the sweaters.

You guys I ****ed up :hit
I was away for the weekend and I came back today to all the younger quails that were outside dead except one including my lovely pastel! There was a storm last night and they may have gotten chilled although they were feathered.
I plopped the live one who was quite lethargic in the brooder to warm her quickly. She’s since started eating and drinking and moving about.
I don’t think it’s safe to leave her there with the littles, so I’ll set her up a spot but I don’t want her to be alone either.

Oh no!
I am sorry.
:(
 
I can’t figure out how to get my heat pad to stay on constantly. Do you think I can leave her in the brooder for a day without risking the chicks?
She’s preening and paying them no mind. They are probably bothering her more than her them.
I just need to run out and get a second lamp or a pad with an auto off that can be disabled. Which is better as a “bird hospital” heat option?
