    Run is finished

    We've had them by plants before and all they did was eat them lol. But I am planning on winterizing it a little bit more at some point. The part of the yard where they are at is actually shaded by the trees for most of the day

    Run is finished

    Just an update. We have finished the new duck pen and I love it. They are out of the mud (for now) and they are loving the space. We also put our babies outside and everyone is doing well

    Sad decision

    we had to make the decision yesterday to rehome one of our male ducks. He is just plainly going to kill our female. Yesterday he grabbed the females head thur the fence i have up to seperate them, and was drowning her. So any suggestions/vibes would be great right now
