Ok thats what I was thinking from reading around on here. My ducks are about 2 1/2 months old, do you know when they start laying? I am fairly certain I have a Pekin, Cayuga, Rouen, and a Welsh Harlequin (welsh maybe mixed with a Runner, tho she doesn't stand up like a runner so probably just...

I have looked around on here about duck nests, but my question is this: I have built a coop for my ducks and chickens and I divided it so my 9 chickens have a 10x10 coop and the ducks have a 4x10 coop, I let the ducks in their run (which is 30x14 with a small pond) and put them up at night...

Ok Thank you once again for all the help it is greatly appreciated!!!

ok they have plenty of dirt under the hay inside the coop and they will have plenty outside. For 4 ducks how much room do they need in a run? I plan to let them out on the weekends when I am home...

Oh, and I was also wondering I read somewhere that ducks need grit as well as chickens, is this true? I currently give my chickens grit in their food but I didn't know fi the ducks need it as well. Thanks again for y'alls help!

Ok, I probably will put a top on, I was just worried about the cleaning of the pen if it was too short, but I can work around that. I do plan on running some 2x12's along the bottom of the fence to help with them sticking their heads through it. And yes Ducklover87 I have read about the...

Ya we have coons, and snakes too and I'm sure opossums. But I planned on putting them in the inside coop at night so I don't worry about the nocturnal critters. There are coyotes as well but we have so many neighbor dogs I don't see or hear them much. And like I said not many animals come on...

Also I am only assuming the tan/white one is a Welsh Harlequin I don't know how to tell the difference. Maybe a Campbell but I can't tell by looking at pictures. I was told she is a Runner but that is not right

I'll try to get some pictures, I've never noticed hawks I do live in the country though, but I have 3 dogs, they stay inside during the day but because of them I don't have any predators come on my property. I don't know how to put pictures on here but if you can go to my facebook page I put...

My ducks are just about full feathered, they're about 7 weeks old now (I think). I have their inside coop done, but they are extremely messy lol. My question is when I build their outside run, do I need to net the top as well? I have a Cayuga, a Welsh Harlequin, a Mallard(or Rouen I can't...

yes it is crested, i was kinda wondering if the Cayuga could possibly be a black runner? Tho i don't know I've just been looking at pictures, the grey-ish one is a yellow runner I'm almost certain of that when she's on flat ground she's tall, still don't know the sexes tho

I have 4 ducks, I'm pretty certain one is an Indian Runner, she stands at attention, it looks like my black one is as well. I have a big yellow one with a hair do, I don't know the difference between the Pekins and the Crested ducks. And that black one I think is a Runner has hair on his head...

Thank you guys for all the help, I appreciate it!!

I have 4 ducks that are making a HUGE mess! I've looked into building a nippled waterer but I'm wondering now if I build this they still need something to dunk their heads in what do I do about that?
