No, you do not unless your ducks are very young. It will only make a great big sloppy mess for you to clean up. However, when our weather is very hot in the summer I do put a 1/2 full bucket in their pen but I put it on a tray and tie it to the hardware cloth so they can't tip it over. I know you're in Florida but I doubt its that hot now.

Draka, girl, is almost 5 weeks, (I pick up Saturday), and Mr./Miss Duckles is 6 days old. Obviously Duckles won't be going out for a little while. I'm new to ducks and am trying to learn all I can. I know chickens don't need water thru the night. Just wondering about ducks before I have one out there. The lows here have been chilly, low 40s high 30s, but only for a night or two, then it's 50s. No real cold yet. I am in process of building house for them, I'll post pics.

Draka is a 5 week old Black Swedish, she is almost fully feathered. I saw her last night :love, I will be bringing her home Saturday. I plan on letting them meet and play thru the day, but ,Draka will have to go in the duck house, and Mr./Miss Duckles will go in the brooder. At least til feathering. So do ducks need water thru the night? Or can they wait til morning?:idunno
