Here is what we have so far... It is 125X75 and will be 10ft tall around the sidae and go up into the middle poll 14ft!
I ahve a net to cover the top and down the sides which is 1.5inches by 1.5 inches.. I have some small teal (greenwing and ring teal) so I needed the smaller net.
6ft high is going to be 1x2 wire and some smaller mesh/wie will be put up before breeding season begins.

in the beginning

Vistors...


On the day we poured the concrete we had about 60 teal fly in, our long term vistors of black ducks 45-50 who have a blond mallard that flies with them and about 200 Canadian geese

Thanks! After building a chicken pen fir our sitters ( Cochins and silkies) my dad swore he wasn't building anything else this year!! Lol
 
We are getting closer....
WE got the net on today 10/9 and hoping to get it attached tomorrow..
we had to drain the pond today one last time because we have a small leak somewhere so we are puttin in two more truck loads of dirt and we need for it to dry out.. have 1 pole in for the door and the other will be put in once the door is done. I don;t have the small wire up for the babies yet but I have it and will do some hopefuly next weekend I figure I have some time on that!
