Yep. Gotcha....
I already posted on our local freecycle looking for any kiddie pools, bathtubs, sandboxes, doghouses, and dog crated (the plastic ones) to help make swimming places and shelters around my yard. I've got a 6 ft stock tank in my basement for a brooder box along with a 5 ft cardboard box beside that if I need 2 brooders.
( I've got hatching chicks from my incubator next week, then over the weekend into the following week from my other bator, shipped chicks next Wednesday, then 3 test duck eggs (from my ducks) hatching the week these goslings arrive. So I'll have quite an assortment of little babies in that brooder box. If any of them are too little (or big) I can put them in the other box.)
I have our old whelping box from our Golden Retriever 13 years ago that I can put together out in our yard for them to play in on the grass. Many feeders and waterers for chicks, so let me know if I've forgotten anything? I have growgel being shipped with them.
Can they eat the same med.starter food as the chicks (w/ amprollium added.) If not, how do people feed them altogether?
Should I add Vitamins and electrolites to their water too?
So many questions...sorry.
