Why are ducks so messy?

[George678]

I have 4 Aylesbury ducks and I’ve just given them fresh bedding there currently not outside at the moment as it’s too wet and within 1 hour of changing all there water , the water is already brown and muddy . How do they manage to make it so muddy when the hut is super clean?

Said the Duck... "Never"

its never too wet for a duck!
its always too wet for a chicken!
and geese... wet or dry they couldnt care less!

Have you noticed the side of their bills? They have built in sieves for straining small particles out of the water. I suspect in their little heads, that they wonder why we keep giving them water without anything fun to sift out. So, they add it themselves.
Maybe we are spelling it wrong too. Perhaps it’s not waterfowl but water foul.

Too wet outside for a duck? Never heard of it.

Our ducks say... "Not enuf water, please add more!!"
