Use Elevated Platforms for Waterers

Solution

Place drinking water containers on slightly elevated, stable platforms (like cinder blocks or wooden pallets).

Explanation

Raising the water source slightly reduces the amount of dirt and bedding that gets immediately kicked or shoveled into it by the ducks, keeping the water cleaner for longer and reducing ground saturation right next to the drinker.

Notes

Ensure the platform is stable and the water is still easily accessible for head-dipping.
