    New Coop / Run Questions

    Hello Everyone! Two ducks incoming next spring, starting preperations now. I have a few questions! 1. Is 13'x10' big enough of a run for 2 ducks, it would include their 2x6 hutch, and a 4x4 pool, as their 'run' will be their place all day. When we are home they will be free range in the yard...

The bantams are very sporadic about their laying spots. Two of them only lay in the run (one in a food container, the other straight on the...

    Making one section of shed into a coop--pointers?

    Hello! So, I'm going to turn one section of my shed into a roomy new coop for my girls. It's a separate area from the main room, and has a roof, one solid wall and a back wall that's got ~1' gap at the bottom. I will need to cut in windows/ventilation and I'm contemplating having the front of...
