Water in Coop

[Christinporter]

I have one month old ducklings… do they need water in their coop at night? I have them locked up from 7 PM to 7 AM.

Ducklings should really have access to food and water 24 / 7 while they’re growing. They need all they can get to grow properly.

In a month when they’re full grown, they can go without food and water at night.

I have wondered about that. In the wild, do ducklings eat and drink after dark?

My ducklings / ducks have always been up and about throughout the night, so I imagine wild ducks are, too.

Is it dark at night where your ducks are, or do you keep a light on?

It’s dark at night. Little to no light.

Replied to wrong thread. Their coop is totally dark at night.
