Thread formerly known as Hatch day is today

Perfect. Was a little worried for a while that the girls would be boys, but they're quacking away now!

Lots of bizarre turns of events in my life... oh, the irony. But it's good.

I have to share my peeps with everyone!

Two day old babies (fawn & white runners) from eggs taken from broody halfway through incubation:


Two week old "flying" rouens and rouen mixes. I swear, those little escape artists can jump two feet!

I bought this brewers yeast from Agway:

Is it the right one? If so, how much do I give my ducklings? How long should they continue to get it? Any information would be great!

Does it give direction on the container? and yes that's a good one I buy the same except in 20lb tubs. and I mix 1 cup of BY to 5lbs of feed, I put the feed into a container then put the BY into it put the lid on and shake. if directions aren't there I'd sprinkle 1-2 teaspoons over a cup of feed daily. 10-12 weeks of age. you might want to spritz some warm water onto the feed to get the BY to stick to it and not fall to the bottom. in their bowl not the bucket.
 
That was just a small area of the pen. The rest was covered by a blanket and their pool was in the middle. I wont use the deck cover anymore though. I don't want my babies to get injured.
