Hello! We are going to transition our ducks outside in a few weeks. What is everyone’s set up like? We have a coop for them, should we have it just sit on grass and have straw in the upstairs area? Straw on bottom and on top?

We are going to start transitioning our ducklings to Nutrena duck feed 18% pellet. My question is, it says provide appropriate grit, Just started hearing about this and not really sure what is appropriate and what we should get Thanks!
