How do you keep ducklings/chicks entertained?

[TheMallardMan]

I have 4 baby mallards in a brooder, and besides giving them a bath each afternoon and letting them swim around in a tub, thats about it. They cant doo much in the brooder, except waddle around. Any ideas on how to keep them entertained and happy?

Give them little tunnels to run through or stand under. Mirrors are a great hit too! Cute ducks!

You could do something like cut a door in a cardboard box to make a little house. Or put a small log in the brooder for them to stand on. I haven't actually done this, but im sure some bird toys from the pet store could give them some entertainment. And when they get a little older, some time outside would be great for them.

With my chickens I have thrown colored objects in their coop, particularly red. It attracts their attention and gives them something to investigate and climb on.
