Since the ground here is a very soft and easy to dig out along with the amount of predators we have here I think I'm going to need a concrete pad under my duck barn that we are building. I know concrete is hard to stand on so I was wondering if anyone has used stall mats to pad then of course topped with bedding? I'm also looking to get away from pine shavings and switching to hemp bedding or chopped straw something that's better for their feet and better for their respiratory systems not being as dusty. So there will be a good few inches of bedding over top. Overall I'm looking to create a duck barn that's predator proof and an environment that's optimal for my ducks overall health. Specifically looking at having Ramm's thurobed mattress installed in each duck pen. I don't know, does it sound like a bad idea? Since I'm already going to have the thurobed's installed in our horse barn I'm willing to spend the extra money for my ducks to keep the stress and pressure off of their little legs/feet giving them a nice padded area as well. I also like the idea that I can sanitize everything if need be.
