[mtnkids]

That is so neat! Congratulations!

Question, how come you put marbles in the water?

 

[slickchik]

The marbles are in there so the baby chicks can't drown in the water...

I thought the marbles were there so the chicks could see the water.

It is for both. I do use the same thing. It also attracts them to the water also. Gets them drinking.

You dip their beaks in the water too, right? I hear you have to do that....
