Oh yes! There are sooo many costs to a calf! And then to get a bull calf is just terrible! I barely cut even when a bull calf is born. And that is when it is a healthy holstein bull calf. A jersey bull calf goes for about 10 dollars at an auction..... Non-pedigree that is. I only have 2 jerseys though. And I always breed them with sexed semen to make sure they have a small heifer so that there is no trouble with calving. I once bred my favorite jersey with "straight run" semen and the calf was too large and she died giving birth.... Now that is just terrible, You lose a calf, AND a milking cow....

For adult ducks, I use concrete mixing pans. They are more sturdy than the kiddie pools we have had.

What do you recommend for waterproof for the nests?

I would leave the nest alone. I had a call duck that sat in the tall brown grass, sort of, While it was snowing. She went from a bibbed which is a black and white duck to s snowy. Completely white from the snow. But she didn't get off that nest kept going until the end.

I would recommend leaving her. I will keep saying this until I'm blue in the face. Lol

To me, it sounds like your trying to make excuses to bother her and reality is she doesn't need you right now. In fact neither one of those girls do. I know temptation is powerful but you must resist.

For ducklings you need something they can get out of or they might get water logged and drown if they can't.

I had no idea we were talking about anything but adult ducks having water to splash in - my suggestion had nothing to do with broodies, y'all.

I knew what you meant, your post was quite clear to me, lol. I also use the cement tubs for my adults, they're inexpensive and easy to clean.

I know you were speaking in general. But I didn't want to shoot up any ideas.
