The Duck Brooder |
I received several tips from the Poultry Club on facebook that have helped, so I thought I would share.
- Keep the water elevated off the floor of the brooder box. In this case, I have the container hanging from a curtain rod on a snap ring to make it easy to remove.
- Put a slotted plant tray on the bottom of the brooder so that the ducks are elevated above the water.
- Put a puppy training pad over the plant tray.
- Top with pine shavings to absorb the excess water.

The first I got chicks and placed them in a wading pool in my back porch home office. Uh, what was I thinking, my keyboard has never been the same. Good luck with the ducks!
Thanks Tom. Bet you haven't put chicks in the home office again. Sounds like you spoil your animals too. :-)
