Swamping the house

My least favorite job is swamping out the coop. These little guys don't want to go outside and they are soiling their hay every other day. Plus, my auto waterer developed a leak, so now I have real mess. I put the auto waterer back outside, but the two small regular waterers that I have don't contain enough to get them through the day. Man those ducks eat and drink alot!

I left the babies inside while I cleaned, shooing them from one side to the other. They were a bit distressed, but we made it work. I can't believe how cold it has been. I turned their heat lamp back on because I was concerned about the temp drop. One of my ducks flipped over again. Poor thing was just laying there wriggling his little butt looking at me. It's supposed to be a bit warmer tommorow. I may try to shoo them outside in the morning based on advice I got from some of the Whizbangers.
