A lot of informatipon about how to keep Guineas the correct way. I've heart a lot of negative tales about them, like being dumb, bad mothers, aggressive - this article explains how to avoid those misbehaviors
Tevye is a great example of how clean water should be used. Make it dirty by washing yourself duck! I must show this to my Indian Runners, they got it all wrong: They get clean water, first thing is to dig up some dirt and wash their bills, then jump in and poop a lot and then "clean" yourself…
Good information for duckling newbies, i like the idea of the raised bedding area. More and high-resolution photos would improve this article very much.
I wish i could work with wood like you did! A very sturdy, well built house for your chickens that will serve you for a very long time. And it looks so beautiful with the white and red paint!
What a great way to re-use an old boat! I bet your ducks are very happy with their boat-pool. I like the idea of the drain-valve in the back, i'd like to have something similar for my duck's pool too. Mind if i steal your idea?
Nicely done! I'm planning to have some little duckies in spring and i like the idea of »seeing each other« very much.
I like to have the brooder with the ducklings in my office for at least one month: I can see them and they can see me so that the bond between human and duck will be much stronger. (And maybe i will raise some computer expert ducks, helping me with my job in the future…)
Being born with two left hands, i really appreciate the details like those corner brackets, making the wood work less complicated.
Thank you very much for sharing!
I love that sliding door! I am thinking now to add such a door to my duck-house, combined with a motor, so i can open it in the morning without leaving the house. Maybe combine it with a micro-controller and connect it to the internet, so i can let the ducks out from my vacation spot... View attachment 1576934
Just two months ago i had no idea about »candling eggs«. Thank's to your article i am looking forward to the time when my five little duckies start to lay…
