Okay, I give in

I’m telling ya! Everything is fair game.

I usually go right to pine shavings after the puppy pads. I buy a pair of pink rubber gloves from the dollar tree and put one on to grab the handful of gross shavings. It's quick and easy to me!

I have blueberry bushes that love pine shavings so I just dump the poopy shavings onto the ground around the blueberry bushes. Win win!

The struggle is so real !! I just moved my 8 ducklings outside to the straw -( 3 weeks old ) I couldn’t change anymore towels - I have cloth diapers to clean every other day and I’m doing wayy to much laundry !!

now THAT is a solid plan. Blueberries are my favorite things to grow (because they’re the easiest)!

Hope it’s warm where you are. They sure are precious

Low of 64degrees but they have 2 heat lamps and a wind blocker I’ll be checking on them every 2 hours since I’m up with a three month old anyways !! I love these girls with all my heart

 

[Miss Lydia]

That’s good! You have many babies

Ducklings are messy, they said.

No problem, I said. I'm an ecologist by education, and we do all cloth and renewable or compostable whatnots. I've raised horses, children (with cloth diapers), puppies, rats, gerbils, and feral kittens with IBD. I was an EMT in a major metropolitan area for the better part of a decade, nothing bothers me anymore. I can handle it without using disposable bedding.

I cave. I'm getting puppy pads today. Even replacing the towels in the brooder right before bed, by morning the last two days, my 6 two-week-old ducklings have made a gag-worthy mess by morning.

my washing machine hissed at me this morning.

I'm doing a full load of towels every single day.

someone send help, i think the poop has become sentient

Okay that made me laugh so hard I snorted and woke up my husband.
