A week ago I picked up 6 RIR chicks.I have a few older hens and a rooster and to be honest got them older because I didn't want to do the whole "chick" thing.
Anyway,I have had the chicks for a week and I keep them in an indoor pen at night and a separate area in my run during the day.
This morning when I woke up I found one have drowned in the water dispenser {I have one of those 1 gallon automatic dispensers}.
this evening not 20 minutes after I brought them in I found another {crushed} by the SAME **** water dispenser.
So needless to say,I feel horrible and that water dispenser is history,at least until they get a little older..
What do you guys use for water?
I was thinking maybe an ice cube tray?
any advise is very appreciated..dont want to lose anymore of these guys!
