I use a 50 50 Apple Cider Vinegar in a spray bottle. I spray the roosts every day, and the floor beneath. Keeps odors at a minimum. It was getting "Stifling" before I started doing this. Now, it barley smells like a chicken coop at all. It's cheap at $1.50 a quart, and it works. We drink it so it should be safe to use. Just don't spray your birds directly. It may burn their noses or eyes.

Brilliant idea...another use for the ACV! Thank you

I know, I know...Keep the pad low, I said. Right at the level of their backs, I said. But after seeing the photos, are they having any trouble getting under there. As I said, ducklings are constructed differently than chicks - less squat and compact - so watch them and fine tune as you need to. Otherwise looks good, and they are so CUTE!!

No trouble at all and they are loving it!!! Thank you for the comment and recommendation.

You are so very welcome. One burn on an 8 year old's arm from a heat lamp when I was standing RIGHT THERE was enough to swear me off those things forever!

Makes sense I have a 6 year old and a 2 year old that love watching my ducks.
