Help, an atomic bomb went off in my brooder!!

[cici_p]

Ok, I have brooded ducklings before, and even geese, and for some reason I have no memory of them being *this* messy.
Maybe it is just amnesia! Or maybe I did something brilliant before that helped keep things a little neater?
I already I have their waterer up on a block and that has not slowed them down at all! Their brooder turns into a pond while I am at work for the day, and their food dish a swamp. . .
Any tips?
They are only a week old, so I can't imagine how bad it is going to get before I move them outside.
Oh, and there are only two of them too!

My brooder I have found that if you put water and food on opisite sides it helps alot! Plus also puting a dish under the waterer to catch what they dribble.

For my five I used a half shavings half wire floor set up. The brooder house was outside so I put the rubber water bowl on the wire and lamp and food on the shavings. All the water they splashed while swimming dropped below to the ground while everything else stayed dry. I would never do anything else after watching my friends go through hell with the little ducklings.
