Can I say what a relief I sold all the quail babies already less then 48 hours old. I am going to stop and get vitamins for the other chick on the way home from work today see what I can find. Thanks for the advice

Hi, I use a kiddie plastic swimming pool for the brooder base, and then panels that link (chicken corral) that sit around the inside perimeter of the pool. I have a tripod for the heat lamp. The plastic panels and swim pool clean up super easy outside with scrubber and garden hose. I put screens over the top when they start to fly up. Works for me.

I ended up using an old shower stall, and it's working magically.

Day 24, a lot of movement and chirping. At this rate, my chickens will hatch with my ducklings.

This is really sweet and a lovely thing to do we had a young cockrail for some reason when we went to feed him his leg was out to the side and hobbling around . He did the same thing as your duck,getting stuck and not being able to get back up, for a while but he just died after a bit and we could not give up on him as short as his life was. I think the same as you all life deserves a chance .
On a happy note , I've got 6 pure silkie eggs on the way on day 3 now so exited already !!!! X

What color silkies??
