Cleanliness

Sure. What in particular do you want to see. Everything?

yes and just what the inside of your pin looks like with the bins and how spaced out they are from everything

Ducks are just going to poop all the time. I put down a thick layer of bedding (straw, pine shavings, aspen shavings or hemp bedding) inside. We spot clean often and clean out the entire thing when it gets gross. My ducks are outside in their aviary on grass, too. The more space the better.

I give my ducks food and water during the day, outside only. At night they go into their room in the barn with no food or water. I tried to give water at night but it was far too messy. I even tried a drainage system. Everything was soggy.

I give my ducks 2 water buckets that are tall enough they can't get into them. I change the water at least twice daily. More in hot weather. My ducks eat food from sloped dog dishes and very rarely poop in them. They get new food daily (I compost anything uneaten) and I wash the bowls and buckets every night.

I also give my ducks bathing water. They poop and drink from it. They are ducks.

dumb question but what is a sloped dog dish, and what kind of waterer do you use

I'll go outside in a couple hours and take a photo.

I'm so sorry, I lost this thread and couldn't find it until know. Ok, here is my set up!
