A really wonderful gal on my pet duck yahoo group gave me the best advice. I had been scrubbing various boards and just could not find a good solution for floor substrate.
Until now: Behold...
All held in with 1x6 or 2x6 boards: Raise the boards an inch for drainage, add 5 inches of pea gravel, 2 inches of pine needles.
Easy on duck feet, no mold, a cinch to wash away poop. I could not be happier that I did this.
I have a 5 x 10 pen an it cost me about $75 but saved me tons of aggravation. The flies are gone, the dirt in the pool is gone, there is less of a chance that my boys will get sick eating poop. It actually smells nice.
Best. Solution. Ever.
SHOUT OUT TO KATHY! AND ZO FOR POINTING OUT THAT MY PRIOR SET UP SUCKED
