Brooding Ducks Ideas

[LooseyGoosey]

I tried washable pee pads, towels, blankets... I don't want to do straw cause it's humid and I don't want mold. It seems like no matter what I do I am cleaning up a MASSIVE wet mess. Anything I can put in the brooder to at least minimize the mess?
Right now the brooder is a wooden box lined with plastic, but I'm at a loss for bedding.

They have a regular little gravity feeder with the quart jar, and for water they have a sour cream tub with the lid cut open. Any better ideas for that too would be good.

I did the same but added a puppy pad in the feeding area. I am brooding 7 ducklings right now and this is the cleanest and easiest to clean it has ever been.

Put the water in something like the others have suggested. I didn't last time and it was always a huge mess. I'm doing horse pine pellets in a rabbit litter pan with the waterer in there. I'm using shavings for the rest of the area and maybe mix the pellets as well if it gets really messy since they absorbe more.
