Oh! Molding is a bad problem for ducks! Do you have water in there with them? Of course I live in a very arid climate, I assume where you are is a lot more humid.

Yes, I live in the Pacific Northwest. It rains a lot. No, I don't keep water in there. My ducks are almost always wet when they go to bed, so that adds to the moisture.

Goosedragon. Gah, yes, the ventilation is a big thing. I have vents at my roof line and I keep the doors open during the day, but I'm going to have to add more. I noticed that today.

I use straw, it works great. Easy i clean out and keeps them very warm.

i use horse stall bedding called Equine pine... it's a wood pellet that breaks down to saw dust when it gets wet.

I'm assuming that if I have a plywood floor I wouldn't want that deep layer method because the floor would rot out correct?

You can put linoleum over the plywood, that's what I did.
