Dan, are the rubber stall mats easy to clean? do you just hose it all down? I am portioning off part of my cement-floor polebarn for the ducks at night (they are out in the day) but the straw gets yucky, but bare cement seems cruel. I would use these mats if it is nice for their feet and still easy to clean.Though our ducks get time out in the yard for supervised foraging/play time daily, we opted to use rubber horse stall mats from the local Agway for the floor of our duck pen.
Dirt will instantly become mud, and in ours (it's enclosed) the grass wouldn't live long. I would think constant contact with a cement surface may lead to bumblefoot or other abrasive injury potential, IMHO.
Hope that helps!
Cheers
Dan
