Thoughts or concerns?

Does anyone see anything wrong with trying this my Rouens are 3 weeks old. I put their water up on a tote with holes in the lid to catch the mess. I also put their food next to the water

Also they still have 4' of room behind them. We have 8" of snow on the ground so the are in the barn

Trying what?...I'm confused?...

The only thing we would recommend is put the water right next to the food because they don't have salivary glands and they need to have the water along with their food at the same time... We can't see exactly what you're asking is right or wrong though...??

Putting the water up on a small tote to catch the mess they make. Sorry for the confusion. I will put their food up there also

I use container with holes in the lid for water and regular bowls for feed..Chicken feeders are hard for Ducks..

Have you witnessed the ducklings climbing up there? Some ducks seem to be better at figuring out steps and things than others If it's too high they might need a ramp. Also you may need to show them where the water's at.

Thankyou I will change it out. I'm new to this and this is what they sold me at the store

It hard to see but there is a ramp then a 2" step. They have been up there but get confused by change in their surroundings

I'll send you a picture of what does work...Give me a moment..I'll base it on your Ducks age of 3 weeks..
