I have 4 ducks and 6 chickens and two turkeys. All about 2 weeks old and every morning i come out to see them all wet. There bedding is also soaked, I'm thinking it's the 4 ducks. Any suggestions?

You can make waterers specifically for ducks to help control the splash and wetness.I have 4 ducks and 6 chickens and two turkeys. All about 2 weeks old and every morning i come out to see them all wet. There bedding is also soaked, I'm thinking it's the 4 ducks. Any suggestions?
Agreed 100%. I'm sure there are folks that brood them together successfully but in my experience, I just can't see how. I don't like my chicks getting wet and try to keep the ducklings as dry as possible but a ducks going to be a duck. Luckily with an adequate heat source, ducklings do well doing what they do.I would brood them separately due to the ducklings being super messy.
I would also recommend housing separately when they are adults as well.
