How do you water your ducklings?

[Quatie]

That's what I did, too. Worked well. We ended up sizing up a few times because they grow so. darn. fast. I put it on a pan with a cooling rack in it to catch their mess, but it was still verrrry messy.

I had 4 ducklings. They ended up in a big 4x4 brooder by week 4. I've never seen anything like it. I was so unprepared!

Here they are at day 1:

Here they are exactly 4 weeks later (you can see one of their bowls):

If you ever think about having ducklings again, save the containers. You can always make another, but it is so nice when you don't need to.

Good advice (as usual)!

I got rid of some of mine after raising a batch of ducklings. I so regretted it.

Very good. I would be a bit worried about little one's climbing in the Yuban and getting stuck, we had one drown once... not a nice thing to wake up to. I have babies in our bedroom till they're about 4 weeks old. Here's my temporary one.

Yep the yuban I use after they go outside and are older.
