bump!

Sounds like your humidity levels were a bit high.Rule of thumb, imho, if your worried about humidity...less is better.

Hi Amber,I've never heard about Sweeds being sex'd by bill colour.You might be getting that confused with another breed, such as Welsh Harlequin.  Welsh's can be sex'd by bill colour with a high level of accuracy.  Darker bills...

One of our call ducklings that came out of a pair of Grey Calls.  But she looks like a snowy?...Any thoughts?

Hi All,Just curious...what colour are these calls?...

Thanks for the responses guys.In our current pen.  Which is about 150ftx150ft we use electrified sheep fencing.  Its bright yellow and hooks up to our energizer that we use for our horse electric fencing.We've had great success...

1lpoock & giffy - What size lumber did you use for your base?  and how tall?Giffy's looks like he used 2x4's...but then it looks like a 2x6 on-top.  Not sure if that stayed or not.  I'm guess it was just for leveling...

giffy - very nice!  I hope that is what ours will look like when completed.1lpoock - Yes of course?.  My interest isn't so much into breeding as it is just for having them around as a hobby.  We have several breeding pens...

I think that was it We are planning on putting in our call ducks, (Snowy, Grey, Pastel, White, ect...) a pair of Indies and some future wild ducks (ie. Wood, Mand.,).So if I were to keep it at 6ft spacing it would be 14ft wide by 60ft...

Hi All,I'm going to be building an aviary out of greenhouse hoops.  They are 14ft wide and about 6ft tall with their current curvature.I'll be using some heavy 1"-1.5" netting.  UV resistant....and screwing the hoops...
