I had about my regular hatchout on stuff .I did lose a couple dozen assorted babies due to a pen escape. Only one gosling hatchout but he lived.Not bad all in all.If my baikal eggs turn out fertile in a month Ill be real happy. I dont use any filtration on my pond

I dont know either. But Hi Kansas. Hope you and your birds are doing well!

Sorry I posted it on another thread. Here it is.

Finally. 20 x25 Ill unveil it tommorrow! Rain today

The biggest thing of all is to have the plants in the pens BEFORE you add the ducks. It makes all the difference in the world. Try some Irises or pompas grass. Im going to try it one last time by putting in a buttload of them in hopes of they cant eat em all at once and hopefully forget about...

7 eggs and waiting. I havent bothered them at all except to change water and put in food. Im hoping to walk out one morning and see a big happy family. On all the others I havent really cared. I hate to say it. My hearts not into all the duckling care like days of old. I dont mind taking care...

Nice Kansaskid! Looks like alot of hard work. Hope you and your birds are doing well.

ME too. at least I have a downhill slope when I ever I do build my pond (stuff keeps popping up I swear) Magellan pics in their new home tommorrow.

Thats why I was telling FlChickens it will help to put the pick up mid way. Truly the whole thing about duck water is do you want it clean by filtration and clean the filtering medium or do you want to clean it by changing the water itself and for most it is just easier to pump out the water...

If you truly do want to run one set it up in the middle of the water column and it will help a little. Otherwise you are going to cuss it alot. I still want to build a concrete pond eventually like most people I know do. But fortunately here I will be able to drain out downhill and refill...

Fl chickens Sounds great on everything but also if you ever find a filtration system that works with ducks Ill be the first in line to get one

The chainlink works 99.9 % of the time and I like it. My chainlink pens only house big birds with no chance of going through. One of my best friends big avairy is chainlink BUT he has 2 ft plastic chicken wire all around the bottom because a duck will try to walk out rather than fly out and yes...

That's what Im dreading doing (making my pond). Yea they dont have to be triangle shape. But darned if out of all the different boxes to chose from that's the one they use. And I only made one so maybe there is something to it. I have never been able to find a pic of a wild bird nesting site...

I kinda figured you already had something done oh well there's another idea for you. That's what I have for my boxes also (hardware cloth) Have you built triangle boxes for your pintails yet?

Everything looks good Kansas. Good job. I like the bark on the buckets too. You may have to glue some hardware cloth (or the same bark as the outside) to the inside for the babies to get out as even though they can crawl straight up 6ft no problem. It may be too slick for them. I have a friend...

Great pics. I never tire of the boys showin off.
