Headache on shipping ducklings?

Their learning! What kind of waterer are you using and what’s the feed?

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 and put water in them.

I'm more than happy for any recommendations and suggestions to make it better.

But right now I'm using a generic chick starter mix from Cal Ranch.

This setup with the paint trays saves a ton of time on avoiding mess. So this part I like.

that’s a lot of water! Which one were you afraid one might drown in?

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 the water so fast. I have to make sure to refill it every 4 hours.
