    Naked necks Pullet or Roo?

    These are 3 week old naked necks. The black/brown chick I am pretty sure is a roo. Comb is a bit pink and pretty big for 3 weeks. The frizzle...well, I am afraid it is a roo too but I want a frizzle pullet so badly I am trying to convince myself otherwise lol...so far mostly yellow comb with...

    how to keep ducks out of your swimming pool

    Well they are one day short of 4 weeks and we moved them out into their duck coop. This is where we will keep them full time until they are big enough to free range safely in the day, and then it will just be their evening pen. We will be adding a run onto this area by the weekend to give...

    how to keep ducks out of your swimming pool

    Photos of my two Roens and the shower set up. The bed pads make clean up a breeze, although I still have to change them 2-3 times a day. The water container at least minimizes mess. So far it seems to be a good solution...will switch to a bigger container such as a cool whip tub as they get...

    how to keep ducks out of your swimming pool

    We will probably go with a 3 foot fence. Something we can easily step over but the ducks cannot. We decided to bite the bullet and go ahead and get our ducklings. We have 2 Rouens, they are about 1 week old. They are little poop machines but I am in love already. We will likely add a third...

    how to keep ducks out of your swimming pool

    The pond is a bit big to fence in. Honestly I was considering a small landscape boarder type fence...just tall enough to discourage them from hopping over and still allowing us easy access without putting up a full fence. The ducklings I am thinking of are Rouens, so they would likely not be...

    how to keep ducks out of your swimming pool

    Yes, unfortunately this might be the deal breaker. DH doesn't want to fence in the pool and for sanitary reasons, we need to keep the pool for human use only, so I'm afraid we may need to put our plans on hold for now. We were only planning on adding a pair, and have a really lovely pond in...

    anyone have any luck with a floating duck house?

    We will have a small coop/run area for our 2 soon to be ducklings, but I am wondering if anyone has had luck getting their ducks to use a floating house for the evening. I am not sure we will be able to shoo them in from the pond each night and would like to have a safe option if they refuse...

    how to keep ducks out of your swimming pool

    Soon to be duck owner her and doing lots of research in prep for duckling arrival! This may be a silly question, but here goes: we have a 3/4 acre fenced lot that we plan to free range the ducks in during the day. We have an in ground swimming pool and next to it is a pond that is more shallow...
