It's not finished yet but it will be soon!
There are a couple of things left to tweak but other than that it's done!
I have to put a door on the side.(For the duck.)
And put a latch on the top. (For me!)
Here are all the pictures I took of it!














I took his food out beacuase the ants were eating it.

And moved the bricks that were next to the pool.
I was afraid he would hurt his foot in one of the holes.
He figured out how to get in with out them real fast.
I am also happy that his pool fits inside!
(We forgot to measure and see if the pool would fit before we made the frame for the pen!)
I'll just feed him in the morning and a couple times in the afternoon.
Is that okay?


Also I think he likes it!
I'm so exited!!!

Yes I plan to let him free-range several hours every day!
How long until he out grows it!?
This thing cost $300!
I didn't know he would outgrow it!
 
Looks nice! He seems pretty curious. How's he adjusting? One thing to be careful of is to make sure that at night, the pen is on top of something solid so that no animals can dig underneath it. Apparently dogs and other predators will sometimes dig through the dirt to get into a pen from the bottom, so that's something to take into consideration. I'm glad his pool fits! You've done a lot to make him a happy little guy.

He did great today.
I think tomarrow I will take him in about an hour after dark.(Today I brought him in as it started to get dark.)
And on Sunday I will put him out side all night I'll just stay up to keep an eye on him.
How's that sound?
I think I can make a predator proof bottem.
Thanks guys and I'll talk to you tomarrow!

Sounds pretty good!

I used coated chain link across the bottom, fastened securely at the sides. Nice simple setup you have! Remember security, securiy, security...... What a peach!
 
He'll likely eat the ants... we have a ton around here, until the ducks come along lol I agree he will outgrow that quick. If he's in it after dark definitely watch for digging predators as others have said.

Personally, i leave food 24/7 with all my ducks.. how old is he again?
 
He is 7 weeks and one day!
I will do some research on security in a little while.
I have to go for now though.
This isn't even going to be big enogh for him to to sleep in?!
