Iowa Flood/Mud Help

the pellets are like little sponges they will suck the water right out of that slop in the picture
They do absorb well, but once they swell, they fall apart easily. If you want them to absorb and stay put, that'll work. You'll end up with wet sawdust in your coop, then you can add bedding, like your wood chips, on top of it. You can also use pellet bedding as an absorbent, shoveling it out and onto your compost pile as it falls apart. That works, too.
A word of warning for ducks, though. If you feed pelleted food, you'll want to make sure your ducks are nowhere near the bedding pellets until they are either disintegrated or covered. You definitely don't want those expanding in your birds' stomachs!
