Florida homestead question of the day

How do I keep duck bedding dry in Florida humidity?

Use strong ventilation, absorbent bedding, good drainage and water stations separated from sleeping areas.

The goal is not a perfectly dry duck yard; it is a clean, dry resting area with low ammonia and manageable mud.

What to do

  1. Place water over a drainable or washable surface.
  2. Remove saturated bedding instead of covering it repeatedly.
  3. Protect the shelter from wind-driven rain.
  4. Avoid overcrowding.
