POST IT ANY WAY! I am dead obsessed with mallards and would love to hear about and see yours!

It was a lot to maintain and you would get the occasional circle but not usually.

Here is their coop it is 4 ft wide and 8 ft long, with 7 seven nesting boxes. Their pen is 8 ft wide and 32 ft long and 6 ft high. It's for my sister's chickens too 13 of them! So there might not be enough room when they get older. I might have to build something else for the ducks.

Nice coop! Yeah, you might want something lower to the ground for your pekins especially, is it hard for them to get up there? I didn't know you had 2 pekins, and what is that black duck by the pool in the second picture? Do you have pigeons too, or is that a chicken in the third pic?
