Hello,

I have 13 ducks that are 3 weeks old today. Their waterer is not deep enough for them to dunk their heads. What are some ideas I should use? I see people say to cut a milk container but I do not think all 13 will be able to use this. I work 8 hour days and refill the waterer twice before I leave for work int he morning. I currently have a 1 gallon chicken water on a paint tray with a grate so they cannot play in the water.

Please send pictures or any ideas you have to I can keep them healthy.

I have them inside in a brooder right now. Are they going to swim and throw the water everywhere? Or is it better to just let them swim in the bathtub for 20 mins every night?
 
Ice cream pails with the lid cut with holes large enough to dunk their heads or move them outside to the coop and run...13 Ducklings give off lots of heat and can keep each other warn if in a shelter and let out to drink and play ...Ducklings are tough...:)....Humanizing them causes issues ...:)
 
I would prob have to use like 3? They really do not hold much water though so they will most likely drink all the water within an hour after me filling up the container
