I Well found somewhat of a solution. Just purchased stall mats so nothing can get them form below. Dear God. We thought they were so protected. I'm so very sad.

We built a 6X4 pen using 1/4" wire one the sides and the bottom of the pen. We also put a metal roof on the top. The pen is by our pond (depending on the rain it is mostly water under the pen.)
I have 1 baby duck and several chicks 2 to 7 days old in the pen. Yesterday found the duck with most...
