so recently we added 4 new duckling to the flock and they have found a way to soak the coop even with the hanging waterers :(( any advice
 
Ducks are really messy with the water. They need to bathe at least few times a week to keep their feathers clean and they need to always have a water source where to dip their whole head. Ducks also use the water to soak their feed, then they love playing with water, too.
You can try putting some very drainant matter under the waterers and all the water sources for the ducks. For example, you can try digging a hole of a sufficient height in base to the amount of water that will be spilled and on the drainage level of the soil, make it much larger than the waterer, and fill it with pebbles.
The water will fall on the pebbles, that will drain it very quickly.
