Buying a duck house online
I bought my coop here: http://www.ranch-coop.com/ I emailed with the owner to discuss the best coop for my 2 ducks (pekin and indian runner duck). My ducks seem very happy and safe. I put a 1/4 wire mesh on the ground to keep out digging predators. I've had my ducks for over 2 years now and once... -

Post your Duck names!
Darcy (pekin male) and Lizzy (Indian runner female). I absolutely adore my ducks! -
What Are Your Winter Woes?
Brrr! It's cold everywhere it seems! Darcy &, Lizzy (my ducks) and I are counting down the days to spring! This has been the worst winter in my 3 years living in coastal CT and my first winter with ducks. (I'm a native California.) They seem to be handling it much better than I am. I wish I had... -

Good to know about kale! We're starting to plan our backyard garden and last year I used all the lettuce for duck treats. Will plant kale, too! -

What Are Your Winter Woes?
oh! I need to get that! I'm a native Californian and a first time duck owner, so I didn't know about hand warmers (even the disposable kind).

The ULTIMATE list of DUCK Treats and Supplements...

Bedding for Duck House? Hay or Shavings?
I didn't realize duck eggs came in different colors! How fun! My runner lays regular colored eggs but they are larger than chicken eggs. I miss them! She stopped laying a couple of weeks ago.Spring can NOT come fast enough! I love Yarnchick's photo! Cute ducks and NO snow! ;) -
Bedding for Duck House? Hay or Shavings?
Thanks! I just found another source for straw so I'm relieved, but I am less panicked in case we run out! I have a male Pekin and a female Indian Runner. I keep water for my ducks all the time, but I don't have an electricity source in the coop for a bucket warmer. This means I wake up VERY... -

Bedding for Duck House? Hay or Shavings?
It seems there are a lot of different options. I'm a first-time duck owner - I've had my ducks since March. My two ducks are almost a year old but this is our first winter. I have been using straw in the coop and have had no problems. I clean out the coop every morning. However, there is no more...
