Very familiar with chicks, but didn't quite take in the difference in size when I ordered the ducklings, so my dog crates are not going to work.
Plan B: Storey's says 3 ft per bird for brooding by 5-6 weeks. For 16 birds that equal 48sq ft. I was wondering if an 8 foot pool (50 sq ft) with stiff edges would work.
How deep would the walls have to be for the ducklings not to be able to jump out? I am getting Runners and WH. If it is 18 inches would that work?
If not, I am trying to think of something that is temporary and cheap enough I can set up in my living room that is big enough? Any other ideas????
