Best Ideas for brooding ducks

[pamperedpoultry]

This may be in the wrong place wasn't sure where to post it. I have 3 ducks a lil over 2 weeks old. Right now they are in a storage tote, with shavings but it seems I'm having to constantly add water and change the shavings. I know alot on here have raised baby ducks and curious as to what set ups people have had for raising them. Pics and Ideas are needed!! thanks

ive not found something that works great but dont use a box and keep adding to it your always going to have to change shavings cuz lil ducklings are really messy! b/c they like to play in there water!!! so dont use cardboard but metal and plastic work well!

Carboard boxes, big ones, with pelleted horse bedding. You'll not find a better set up. You can just throw the whole set up away every other week or so and not have to worry about cleaning or watery messes.

The answer isnt no cardboard, the answer is no shavings. Theyre useless. They wick water out of containers and then cant hold it so it soaks everything. The pelleted bedding doesnt wick the water out of containers, and its so absorbant that it cant soak through before you notice it needs changing.
