Quote: I'm assuming your friend was killed?

I was still living at home when one of the locals decided to take his bike for a spin one night, with a friend of his on behind. They'd both had too much to drink. They stopped short of the top of a hill, wrong side of the road, light off, about midnight. This was in the 50's, before the area was wall-to-wall street lights. A car came over the hill, hitting them head-on, and flipping the passenger over the bike to face-plant on the car's hood, clear to the windshield. He was dead at the scene; the guy driving the bike wasn't scratched.

Alright, I'll get a second brooder for the ducks, final question though about the ducks/turkeys. Do ducks need heat sensitive or can they go into a dog crate with water/food until they get big enough to go outside. The room is kept around 85.

I read something in one of the vet books... I'll see if I can find the reference.

This would sure make my life easier, if my ducks could eat the poult feed. LOL I don't mind getting all fancy, but to make my life easier, if they will be okay until we switch to an all flock feed in a few weeks, it would be better for me. (easier anyways) I'll do what I have to do, but if you think it's fine, I'm glad to know that.

Ducks are warmer than chicks. 85* should be fine.

Hey everybody! I'm not even going to try to do a readback.

Did I miss anything earth-shattering?
