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!
