Bathing Ducklings

[luckyduck956]

I give my ducklings a bath once a day without soap just water and they both smell bad they are inside ducks. I keep them in the house everyday. I am afraid to use shampoo on them.. Any advice?

That's normal, ducks stink!

You're right, you should not use soap or shampoo on ducks! Ducklings poop a lot and make a mess of their brooder. Your best bet is to just keep that as clean as possible and let them have a little swim every day. Make sure they don't stay in the water very long, and gently dry them off when they get out. They're animals, they're going to smell a little bit.
