Duckling Care 

I didn't but I see it now! I put roasting pan in the broader to put the water in it still gets filthy fast but way easier to dump that throughout the day rather than the whole brooder!

Peter! what are you changing? 

The bottom tray. Mine now folds over the water bottles. I'm going to make the bottom a frame like yours so that it lifts in and out easier. The water bottles will hold it in place. The turner will still fit on top of that. Also it has two many areas that are not safe for chicks and they somehow find them right away. I think my wafer thermostat is too high off top of eggs so I may move it down or the eggs up. Also another fan blowing across the thermostat although there are already four small fans pulling air up from bottom that are above the eggs. When I built this thing I copied as close as I could to the old styrofoam one. I don't use lights I use the heating element of the styrofoam one which bent into shape to fit the cooler.
This was going to happen today but I've discovered some darn termites or some wood eating bug in the dishwasher/cabinet area of kitchen and it is currently torn apart. Taking a break so my blood pressure will come down a bit.

The Boy Who Cried Wolf
There once was a shepherd boy who was bored as he sat on the hillside watching the village sheep. To amuse himself he took a great breath and sang out, "Wolf! Wolf! The Wolf is chasing the sheep!"

The villagers came running up the hill to help the boy drive the wolf away. But when they arrived at the top of the hill, they found no wolf. The boy laughed at the sight of their angry faces.

"Don't cry 'wolf', shepherd boy," said the villagers, "when there's no wolf!" They went grumbling back down the hill.
Later, the boy sang out again, "Wolf! Wolf! The wolf is chasing the sheep!" To his naughty delight, he watched the villagers run up the hill to help him drive the wolf away.

When the villagers saw no wolf they sternly said, "Save your frightened song for when there is really something wrong! Don't cry 'wolf' when there is NO wolf!"

But the boy just grinned and watched them go grumbling down the hill once more.

Later, he saw a REAL wolf prowling about his flock. Alarmed, he leaped to his feet and sang out as loudly as he could, "Wolf! Wolf!"

But the villagers thought he was trying to fool them again, and so they didn't come.

At sunset, everyone wondered why the shepherd boy hadn't returned to the village with their sheep. They went up the hill to find the boy. They found him weeping.

"There really was a wolf here! The flock has scattered! I cried out, "Wolf!" Why didn't you come?"

An old man tried to comfort the boy as they walked back to the village.

"We'll help you look for the lost sheep in the morning," he said, putting his arm around the youth, "Nobody believes a liar...even when he is telling the truth!"
