Yes I put sugar in their water and they are drinking it, even the ones that died drank it also, I guess they weren't going to make it either way. I give my other birds that are outside some of the vitamins and electrolytes in their water do you think it would be okay to give to the chicks too?

yeah, I give mine the vitamin and electrolytes in the water for at least the first 4 weeks if not longer.

I have my batch coming any day now. No later then wednesday. I run to the phone every time it rings. I only have 16 coming but they are breeds I dont have yet. FUN FUN. Silkies, Frizles, Cochin Bantams, Polishes, d'uccle mille fleurs, turkens, and my favorite duckies. grey mallard pair and fawn and white runner pair. I post lots of pics. Has anyone every had any luck broodering these kinds of chicks and ducklings together? I've heard the ducks can squash the chicks but those were the big pekins. They are going to be inside the house for a few weeks so I can keep a close eye on them. I just hate to have the 4 by themselves. Any advice would be great.

I emailed Ideal today to find out a ship date for my babies. They will ship on March 3rd. I checked my weather. Would'nt you know it. After all this fine sunshine and warmth the temp is suppose to drop for their ship date. UGGGGGGGGGGG
Anyway, I got my fingers crossed and will start warming up the brooder. Hopefully on March 4th I will have pics of baby fuzzy butts

I called MMH yesterday, and my chicks should be here on Sunday, Monday, or Tuesday. I just got done candeling as I am on day 12 and have two outta 35 eggs viable. I hope they make it. They should start hatching next week.

I have to clean out my brooder today and get it ready. The weather is looking good for my babies to come. I will let you all know when they do.
