How do you keep ducklings (and their bedding) dry in brooder???

I cut mine too low. Lol. So probably farther up than 3" from the bottom.

My babies are 3 1/2 weeks old now and it's still too cold outside so they are becoming cumbersome to say the least lol

If you do an image search on whatever browser you use, there should be some examples of the milk jug waterer. My ducklings are 3 weeks too!

I really like the pic @Soon2BChixMom posted those are what I use also when we have babies and they aren't as easy to climb into as the milk jug ones.

I was just about to post a similar question. Though, I have tried nearly every suggestion I could find. Am I able to remove food and water and give it to them a few times a day?I have considered giving them food and their watering can before and after bath tub time, Which was twice a day, but I think needs to be three times a day. Temperatures have been in the 30s this week, so they aren’t getting any outside time yet. Most of my ducks are three weeks old, plus however long it took for them to get to the feed store. Three of them are two weeks old, plus time again.

As far as I know, they have to have access to food and water all the time.
