I currently have 12 eggs in an incubator I’m trying to hatch this is my first attempt along with 18 in a next one of our ducks is working on. Our first group we started our flock with we used an old rodent cage to raise them in but now if even half the eggs hatch I’ll need something bigger. I was thinking about using some extra cedar fence pickets as the main box part and making it kind of a natural floor. What I mean is the floor will be cedar with a half inch piece of foam insulation over crate light diffuser. Then add some topsoil and plant grass in it. I am thinking I would add worms in there to turn the soil and give the baby ducks a more of a natural environment to forage in and some of the mess they make would be absorbed into the false ground and help the grass grow. Please let me know of any pros or cons and opinions on this idea.
