Just starting in 2022

How did they do overnight?

Very good. I still have 12 living. The temp this morning in the brooder was 74°. I cleaned out their water bowls and refilled them. I'm using the sav-a-chick electrolyte and vitamin packs in their water, and I have nutritional yeast (Now brand) in their food which is dumar 20% chick starter.

Sounds good a little cool but with 12 in there I’m sure they cuddled and stayed warm. I wouldn’t let them swim in 74 temps though a might cool.

I had to get a tub with higher sides because they think the World outside is a sfa place. My garden hose lays outside in the sun so I can get warmer water for them.
Should I be using grit because I got meal worms for a treat?

 

[Miss Lydia]

Yes chick grit just put a container close to their feed they’ll use it as needed.

I have a visitor in the coop. Pic #2 is Honkey.

I had not seen the toad til you mentioned it. A pretty big toad.
Duckling Honkey is adorable.

Pretty funny though. they mean to say "dunks" not "ducks".

@rjmyooper

I'm English and we do say duck where many Americans say dunk. I dunk biscuits in a cup of tea [Did I mention I am English?] but we duck people in fun in water. Back in Mediaeval times the test to identify witches was a "ducking stool". So "ducking" is definitely a synonym for "dunking"
