    My first flock

    That's the one. The coop is solid wood. The pen is welded wire. My intention is for this to house them and allow them to free range as well (hopefully).

    Need some duck advice

    So...we have a newly hatched duckling in an urban setting. I have a decent backyard, but two labs. I am thinking/leaning toward trying to keep the duck in our garage. What concerns me about that is ventilation. I could run a fan... Any thoughts? Has anyone kept a duck(s) in a garage? If so...
