Although, I've never thought to put ice in the water. Something to think about. They do drink a lot of water. Only the chicks and keets are not free ranging, but I have to clean and fill 2 3-gallon waterers a day here in North Texas.Ken and Mary of Fancy Fibers Farmhttp://www.fancyfibers.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9185545398642259021.post-70183756242144699322010-07-19T20:54:37.041-07:002010-07-19T20:54:37.041-07:00I hate when I know those stupid things.

Poor Rosie's gotten more than one apology from me for an empty water bowl!<br /><br />I dream of being in your position one day, able to give my own eggs away to the neighbors!Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09081652747471904560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9185545398642259021.post-28964643638366734092010-07-19T05:45:20.347-07:002010-07-19T05:45:20.347-07:00No harm, no foul (no pun intended). :) Don't...No harm, no foul (no pun intended). :) Don't be too hard on yourself.

The chickens aren't real happy with you, but if you check them often (which it sounds like you do), it usually is more an "OHNO" not a "#$%@" situation. <br /><br />Relax, consider it a freebie from the school of hard knocks...<br /><br />CatCathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16085463730809297977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9185545398642259021.post-36131961916609434362010-07-18T18:13:01.396-07:002010-07-18T18:13:01.396-07:00I'm glad the chickens and chicks are all ok! ...I'm glad the chickens and chicks are all ok! They've now forgotten about it, but you will never forget it now! You are the best chicken mama, so don't sweat it. <br /><br />Right now we have 2 broody hens sitting on a total of 9 eggs between them. Eggs are due to hatch Thur thru Sat. I couldn't say no to more chicks, they are just so very cute. And it just amazes me that my little ladies and roos are thir mama's and daddy's. I love to figure out which chick came from which parents. I still think it's a miracle that a chick can come from those eggs...<br /><br />~LynnRazzberry Cornerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17644607616585345473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9185545398642259021.post-61784255857194524722010-07-18T17:02:24.978-07:002010-07-18T17:02:24.978-07:00Simple mistake - I always feel terrible when I com...Simple mistake - I always feel terrible when I come home and the dog dishes are empty.

You're right in considering it a lesson learned.<br /><br />Those two little chicks are adorable. Can you tell what they will be when they grow up?<br /><br />You know, for some strange reason ;-D , I'm not surprised that you're giving away eggs.
