My husband and I are trying to come up with a simple, somewhat inexpensive pen and house for my two buff ducks. What materials work best for fencing/ housing? We were thinking of making it 12'x8', but i want to make sure that's adequate space. It's our first time owning ducks, so any input or opinions are greatly appreciated!!!

Well heres a link to one just off the top of my head. most important is to make sure predator proof because you'll be surprised how the word will get out about free duck meal once you put your 2 lil ones outside.  So all the best and welcome-byc.gif

By the way we love pics so if your avatar is your 2 please post more they are adorable.
