we use a dog cage, but if you want to keep in water....
Kiddie pool works well
For almost a week now we've been using a plastic tote that measures about 3' x 18" for 12 ducks. We lined the bottom with pine chips covered by puppy pads. Works great. The high sides keep drafts to a minimum, but you'll have to change out the puppy pads frequently. When they outgrow that I plan to move them to a wading pool with cardboard sideboards.

What a great idea! I wouldn't have thought of that. I worry about little heads getting stuck in things (chicken wire, wire crates etc) Hmm, there is a habit for humanity thrift store near me. They sell used building supplies, might need to run down there. Just in case. Can't let the hubby know
Better to be prepared for the unexpected.
