Thank you for reaching out! Life got super busy and we moved from in town to a farm! My sister took my ducks into her big flock. We thought we would take them back when we moves, but they are super happy in her big flock. So we started over with chickens! The house we bought came with a half...

My drake tries to be bossy, and I just stand up tall and walk towards him, he usually turns and moves away from me. He has his 2 ladies that he likes to protect. He's never bitten or grabbed onto me though. But I don't try to handle him either. He has plenty of room to move away from me when I...

My ladies have come running out of their duck house lately looking so disheveled/feathers fluffed in the mornings.....my guess was the "lovemaking" due to the season 😆 no neck feathers missing or anything, so my drake is still being a gentleman I hope lol.

One of my drakes had a curl like that super early... holding out hope it isn't for you tbough:fl

🥰 We are very proud of the parents! The 4 so far are super healthy and active! Can't wait to see what the next 4 look like and what their coloring is going to end up as! So fun!!

My sister incubated eggs from our runners! All eggs developed super well, she has 4 hatched and 4 more beginning to hatch! They are so cute!! Here are the proud parents, she had 4 eggs from each lady (brown and white ducks) gray is the drake....

Also to add on door width, I read when building/researching mine....to make it 2 ducks worth wide, because they won't always file one by one in. And may try to go in at the same time as another and get stuck lol. So better to go bigger than smaller

Do you have a house inside of the run? Is it chain link? I think you may need to predator proof if it, if it is. I'm sure others will chime in. I've read the general rule is 4 square feet/duck for coop then 10 square feet/duck for run.

I use nutritional yeast that I find in the bulk section of my grocery store. 👍

I painted all the wood then put it down...maybe that helps. Mine hasn't come up yet! Edit: I don't have chickens, so I don't think my ducks scratch at it too. I love finding things at habitat...love that you got a roll for so cheap!!

Looks like maybe they ate some green veggies 🤔 or from foraging? When I feed my ducks pees or lettuce theirs can look like that. But I will let others chime in.... Answer to these questions will help Could they have gotten into anything, what their diet is, if they are acting sick, how old...

One of their nests they made. Moved all the big rocks out of the center and lined them in a nice circle 😍

I did the vinyl floor in mine :yesss: superb for cleanup. I bought the cheapest stick on vinyl squares. Easy to cut to fit in the layout you need.

Perfect description 👏

Cute boys!! Agree with above posts! Also to add...warms my heart to know that I'm not the only one dealing with muddy mess right now...anyone else ready for winter to be over :caf the struggle is real!
