I’m planning to purchase some ducklings from McMurray something in October. This isn’t the first time I’ve raised ducklings, so I know how messy they will make it. I have put pans with mesh on top of them under they’re waterer, even made a draining system for a bigger pan, but the pipe was constantly getting clogged with shavings and overflowing. Anyone have ideas to keep it dry in there? This is the waterer I use:
I would use a different waterer. I use a few different ones as they get bigger. Some of my pictures are outside, but I use the containers in the brooder too. Plastic containers with holes in the top are the best. Depending on how many I am raising, I put multiple waters in there to last the day. When they don't last because of tipping it over or go through the water, I move to a bigger one. Only major messes are when they can tip it over.
