Bathing in the Kitchen

[Burster]

Howdy all!

I just hatched 5 Cayuga ducklings with an incubator. My girlfriend loves to let them splash around in a water filled storage container. They are the cutest little things. I was just curious if it was a bad idea to put them on the food prep counter next to the pantry shelves?. They do a lot of pooping in the water and tend to splash it all over the place. Maybe outside would be more sanitary?

The kitchen is definitely not ideal. I'd recommend a bathroom, laundry room, or garage.

Your definitely not going to want duck feces anywhere where you might prepare your food.

i put 1 or 2 tiny ducklings in my kitchen sink, but 5 of them over a week old will be a handfull

You can disenfect to perfection but every spring someone posts on here how their duckling fell off the counter and has a head injury. You know how hyper they get around water
