Hi,
I have two Indian runner ducks and I always herd them into the chicken coop at night. I fix up a special area, just for them, every evening. I put lots of newspaper on the floor (just one corner), then straw, and surround it with a portable dog fence. I've always given them a dish of food and water but I'm wondering if this is necessary? I sure would love it if I didn't have to deal with that watery mess every morning. They go to bed at dusk and I let them out at 8 a.m. Sooo, do they need to have water in there with them??? Thanks!!!
