I don't think my first attempt at this post worked so:
got my duck brooder built yesterday.
a little overcomplicated but I wanted to capture the effluent that messy wet ducks make rather than let it pass through the bedding and soak my shop floor.
last year I made elevated floor brooder but didn't get catch and gutter system installed until this year. the gutter leaded to an oil pan(unused) for collection and use in a watering can.
last year I learned that the elevated floor kept the bedding and ducks a little more dry.
I also discovered that young ducks were prone to falling through the cracks, thus the addition of landscape fabric.
happy spring!
