How is everything now?

Oh, i'm so sorry to read this! I've been following your thread for a few days, as we are getting some ducks in a few months. Would it be possible to move their pen near to the pond? I'm not sure what the area looks like etc, but if the pond was near them, it might be easier to lock them in there...

thanks! I'm definitely in it for the eggs, so the males won't work. we're in an urban setting, so I can't have any babies unfortunately. I also work full time, so they won't get much in the way of interaction during the day. would that be a deal breaker to ducks?

Anyone?

We keep deciding on ducks, then chickens, then ducks, you get the idea. I really want some of both, BUT we are 100% novices, and I don't know if it will work, reading blogs are great, but not really enough for reality. We're in an urban setting, but nearest neighbor is across the street, no...

Looks amazing!!

Hi Lazy Gardener, The lot size is .25, I don't have the exact measurements of the yard. I'll get them today. The fence is those white PVC fences. The entire garden is in full sun. At the back beside the shed, will be the only shaded areas, because of the house. The back door is on the crook of...

Kelsie, We were actually talking about cost of water to the coop last night, and distance from the house. Running the electric is no problem, as my husband is the electrician. If we can't run the water, it's not the end of the world, the garden isn't a million miles long, i'd rather the...

The garden is .20 of an acre. I don't have the exact measurements, but I can get them off the drawings this evening. Bedrooms are all upstairs, so I don't mind in regard to the windows. Door to outside, is at the back (near where that shed is now) When I spoke to the town, they told me, you...

I have zero artistic ability, or vision. So hopefully someone where is more savvy than me with garden design. We are currently renovating an older house, and adding an addition, so the entire garden has been dug up. I've attached two pictures, one of the aerial view of the garden, the black is...

I've already wasted half the week looking at all the gardens and coops! A lot more imaginative people than i'll ever be!

ah, maybe I should have clarified. We bought a house that needs a lot of work, in the process, the entire garden was dug up to get to the foundations etc. So luckily for us, we can now run water pipes and electric to the chicken coop area, and have the garden exactly as we want is, instead of...

Further South, in Rockland County. We do have a vacation home up near you in Hudson.

ah okay! I thought you were going to eat them. Where in upstate are you? fellow NY'er here!

What do you do with the chicks once they're hatched and grown up.

haha, true! I was thinking in terms of here when I wrote it, then was like... actually, in England, I'm not sure if that would be considered that close. Here.. it would be day trip! lol

Well, he's not crazy close, he's from the West Midlands. I'm not sure about the weather, after the snowy winter we just had, he was yearning for some plain old rain!

Thanks Yorkshire! My husband is English, and from not too far from you.
