    Getting really worried about my duck

    Thanks Lydia, she about 5 or 6 years old. I've put a smaller bowl and some pieces of wood like steps but I might actually dig it into the ground to make it easier to get in/out. Its just one leg, the right. I think it was either the drake or my 3 geese who can be a bit aggressive, hence why...

    Hi there from central Portugal 😊

    Thanks, I'm down there every morning and when I put them all to bed at night so checking them twice a day/cleaning. I've just ordered from the first link. Every coop or farm store here sells medium or large feeders so I appreciate you sending the links 🙂

    High nest box with broody hen

    Mine is about 2ft off the ground, so that they are away from my 3 geese. The next box is a drawer with sides about 4inches high. They're bantams too. My concern/question is should i fence off an area just for the chickens and chicks so they dont get attacked by the geese? If they came out of the...
