what can i do while our ducklings are young to keep the floor in the coop from rotting from the waterer? i plan on moving it to the run when they are older , and we close the coop at night so will they b ok without water over night? thanks for any advice!

I always have water availbale to my ducks/duckling overnight - yes it can be messy- but I feel it is important to provide them with it.

I place a baking tray under the waterer to help collect as much of the drippage as possible.

I used the bottom pan of a dog cage and placed some shavings on top, then their water dish. The shavings may get wet but at least the floor is protect. Just pull the pan out. empty it and replace with new shavings.
