so I have 100 meaties right now, well I did last week now I have 90
week one I had them in this awesome wooden brooder with a wire bottom that woodenanimal made.
I had a quart size waterer in each corner, feeder in the middle and a light on each side.
well right at the end of week one and no lossses, I got the bright idea to fill the waterers with warm water . . . 15 minutes later my daughter went out to the pump house (where they were kept) and hurried back inside to get me . . . disaster! they were all trying to hot tub it in the warm water. My daughter blow dried four back to life, but we lost 10. 10 losses from my rediculous mistake - that's two months worth of chicken dinners for us.
Just thought I would share in hopes of preventing it happening to someone else.
