Thank you, both, @Amiga and Birdbrain92. They have a huge electric poultry fence run and a 12x12x6 dog kennel that they get locked in at night. It is covered on one side of the kennel by a tarp. There are also 2 extra large dog houses in the kennel filled with straw. I am thinking I need to...

Thank you, Amiga. I was hoping you would see this. I appreciate your time and knowledge.

I have 2 of my 6 runners molting. It has been 20* at night for the last week, and about 40* during the day. Is this normal? I don't remember my muscovies ever doing this when I had them. This is my first year with runners. 4 of the 5 ducks were laying consistently up until it got cold at...

I ordered from them also. I received an email on Monday morning and got a call from the PO at 6:45 am on Wednesday to pick up.

Wow! Thanks everyone! Yes, my avatar pic is ONE of my dogs. She is the youngest and smallest. I also have 2 other house dogs and 3 LGD's. Thanks again and I look forward to perusing all these wonderful posts.

I will do that. Thank you for the welcome!

While I do not have chickens, I do have ducks and guineas, and have been frequenting the duck/guinea forums. I raised Muscovys free range for about 10 years, but sold them all and have decided to go with Blue Runner ducks. I have 2 drakes and 8 ducks, about 1 week old. They are in a brooder...
