Question on using pea gravel for duck run- our vet disapproves

[70%cocoa]

I found the doc here: http://www.alaskabirddoc.com/sites/site-2271/documents/ASVSA-Client Ed-Anseriformes.pdf

Hope that works!

I use the pine straw over gravel, I can hose it off for a bit before I have to pull it all out. There is no hosing straw or pine shavings.

We changed our drainage, and have a trench leaving out from under the duck run now, dries things out faster. Filled the trench with gravel too, and covered back over with dirt and grass. Major improvement, making a route for the water to leave through more quickly.

Thanks for this handout but I can't access it for some reason. Our vet is an avian and exotic animal specialist but I don't know how much experience she has with ducks. I read elsewhere about someone putting pine straw on top of their pea gravel. I may give this a try.

Hrmmm.. the link didn't work for me either... what about this http://www.alaskabirddoc.com/sites/site-2271/documents/ASVSA-Client Ed-Anseriformes.pdf
