Provide Deep Drinking Water Containers

Solution

Ensure drinking water containers are deep enough for ducks to fully submerge their heads (eyes and nostrils).

Explanation

Ducks need to dip their heads underwater to keep their mucous membranes moist and clean, preventing eye infections and respiratory issues. Standard chicken waterers are often too shallow. Buckets or deep tubs work well.

Notes

Water will get dirty quickly. Be prepared to clean and refill containers frequently, often multiple times a day.
