    Advice needed for predator proofing this

    I would put up a 2x4 frame then put chicken and chain link fence up to keep predators out. For digging I would burry rocks underground to keep animals from getting up under there.

    Eagles nesting nearby

    Where is the nest in your yard? Is your house near it. Eagles normally don't attack unless they feel threatened so I would stay far away from the nest. What type of Eagle.

    2 pet male ducks- one won’t stop trying to mate the other

    Normally separating causes anxiety and such things in ducks especially, but you could try to get the girl pregnant then the drake should calm down a tad.

    What special care do you give your flock?

    I live in Ohio and in spring it gets really wet so I use pelletized bedding in the pen to soak up water I also use crushed food pellets to spread around in it works amazing a the chickens and ducks love it.
