Some of the chicks are getting mud balls built up on their feet. I am keeping the shed clean and as dry as possible. Should I be concerned and catch these and clean it off. I did clean a couple last night and it is packed on. Kind of a pain to get off.

I picked up 150 pheasant chicks on July 23 and have lost 5. I started them in an old stock tank with a screened top and as many as 3 heat lamps. Moved them to an 8x10 shed and am working on the pen. They have multiple feeders and waterers and roosts to keep them busy and separated.

Wow that is awesome. I suppose when you flood it the ducks are right at ear height and go nuts in there. I know the couple of times we have been able to hunt a flooded corn field we took home quite a few ducks.

AR Dave is that corn by the pond for ducks or birds or deer or all the above?

Dakotazeb I need that 16ga White Lightning to go with my 12 and 20 WLs. Onpoint you may want to think about Shotgunworld.com or Gundogforum.

I know some feedlots here in Nebraska were losing 30 or more fat cattle a day to the heat. Seems to me my pheasant chicks love the heat way more than the cold.
