ducklings are horrible mess makers. I use a small container of some sort, put a wire floor in and then set their water in. That way all the water falls into a tub that can be dumped and bedding stays dry.I'm the one that cannot deal with their messI had NO idea...if I could brood outside it might be a different story.
I am very glad to hear it. I had a Narragansett tom that had a freak accident that broke his shank. I had to cut the bone clean and it healed over just fine. I fitted him with a silicone and dowel prosthesis. He had a hard time breeding but otherwise was great! Since she still has a pad, if she has function in the leg she may start to use the stump. My chicken hen Peg did.
