I have 2 baby pekin ducks about a week and a half 2 weeks old. While they are the cutest things I have ever seen they are MESSSSSYYYYY!
I had them in a large rubber made container with 10 same age buff orp chicks. Well they flooded the brooder with the water dish, so I moved them kicking and screaming (they were very close with the chicks) they screamed for a few hours when seperated.
Now they have been in their own box for 2 days and I have had to change the bedding about 6 times. They keep soaking their bedding so bad their belly's are wet. How can I keep this dry and while I know they are waterfoul will this (constantly damp pine shavings)hurt them even if they are warm at this age. Any info on this would help a lot.
Thanks,
