Looked at your coop, it's awesome! We only have a tarp covered 10 x 10 chain link dog enclosure for our girls. In central Texas it is quite warm so haven't had a need for them to get out of the weather too much. We are talking about putting 4 x 4's under each side of the enclosure to get the...

Question: Is it a problem for ducks to be on damp leaves at night? My girls are free roaming during the day but I pen them at night. I have been putting leaves in their night pen since there are so many leaves around. Since we have been having rain I can't keep it dry. I spread hay for them and...

Can you use chicken feed for ducks? I was concerned that if I didn't get "other poultry" feed that it wouldn't have what my pekin hens would need. I only put about 1/16 of their food as scratch and maybe a handful of oyster shell. The majority of their feed it poultry feed. It will make it...

Thanks! They seem to waste a lot when I put the oyster shell in a bowl. Ducks!

At tractor Supply you can get poultry feed and add chicken scratch to it also add Oyster shell (at TS) to the feed. I didn't add it and I got soft shells. Added the shell to the feed and I had wonderful eggs!

I have a dog crate (plastic) but it has holes in the back and sides. I guess I could wrap it. I am quickly running out of room in their 10x10 enclosure. When we leave for a few days I have to put their kiddie pool in there, with their water, food, and their little nest, poor things don't have...

They are a hoot! Love them to death! I'll have to look for something to use for a little house.

These are my two ladies!

Thanks for the advice. Our dirt is so bad I don't think earthworms would live here. I also use straw in the resting areas of their pen. They have one corner of the enclosure that the ladies use as a community nest. I always put extra hay there. I don't have a closed off area like a dog...

Right now they are in a 10 x 10 chain link dog enclosure. It has poultry netting around the bottom and plywood (about 3 ft high) over that. Yes, there are 2 roofs on their pen. One over the top and then one tented inside. How easy are the mats to wash off? Right now the floor is just dirt...

We are going to make a new pen for our 2 pekin ducks. Right now they are in a 10 x 10 chain link enclosure. My husband wants to pour a concrete floor for the pen or use a wood platform for the floor. Do ducks have any problem walking on concrete? We are trying to make it easier to clean out...
