Mom has one of those big heavy rubber dishes, she eats and drinks out of. The sides are approximately 4-5 in high. I do have some wood blocks, so I will just put her's on those so ducklings can't reach then. Then I will do the little cut out one you showed me a few days ago for the lil ones and another lil plastic bowl for their food. My son got the days mixed up, FFA will be next Friday. I'm glad, now I got today to switch things up a bit. I looked and it is about 2-3 in step up into doghouse, so I think I will build a lil plank so i know they can get in and out easy, glad you mentioned that, thanks so much. Didn't even think about the bedding
I am so happy I have you, Holly and others on here to help or I would be lost, for sure. I didn't know that a few could come early either. So when do you think I should hear or maybe see the ducklings? Bad thing about her doing her nest in the small doghouse, I can't see in there
Day 35 is tomorrow-I started the count after she sat for 24 hrs
& P.S. Everything I know I learned either here, from others, or the ducks themselves taught me! 
My muscovy population has reached to almost 200. I had a nightmare last night.
