Get a large clear plastic tub with lid. Next cut holes into the sides large enough to pass a soda can through, cut them about 6 inches high. I would cut 2 holes on each long side and one on each short side. Next put the water and food dish inside and cover with the lid. The ducks can get the water and food, but not play with it. Plus you can easily rind the tub.

I have an area attached to the duck house that is very secure - hardware cloth all around, electric fence . . . . it has a sand floor and that is where the food and water is.

I lock the ducks in the house after dark and let them out early in the morning - they go without food and water for 8 to 10 hours, now that they are three months old.
