    Ducks brooding outside

    I already have quite of few nesting boxes in the coop, but I've had my fair of chickens hide in dark places. For instance, my Japanese hen hid under the horse barn, and I thought she was dead.

    Hi, I'm getting ducks today, and I've read and experienced a lot about broodiness. I've heard that most of the time ducks will brood in a quiet place outside. But in my case, I live on 11 acres, and snakes and predators pose a threat. Is there any advice about this? I've heard you can put...
