The girls are now four weeks old and have moved into their own apartment. Since they're not cowering in a corner, I think they're pleased with it. A thick carpet of wood shavings covers the cement floor of a small shed with a sturdy door. A heat lamp compensates for chilly early spring nights. Check out the nifty watering station I constructed. The green tub collects most (some) of the water they love to fling about. A screen keeps them from splashing in the overflow. A plastic tub for water fits into the screen and stays stable. So far it's working great.
It's such a pleasure to open the shed door and see calm, contented ducks with plenty of room to roam. Wait till their outside pen is finished--they'll be so excited!
Keep safe little ducks!
