    Ok here's probably a very stupid question, but here goes......

    Yes!! I googled it and that's exactly what she is..... as far as building a fence around her... we are out in the boon docks.... owls, raccoons, possum, skunks.... I just wouldn't feel secure and would never get any sleep! What I may do is build an additional coop just for the ducks, thanks...

    Ok here's probably a very stupid question, but here goes......

    Far too many predators to let them stay outside, and they would be very unhappy if I confined them to the run, they are use to free roaming.... but thanks for the advise! Guess if she does make nest outside I'll just have to keep her in run...

    Maintaining a Small Pond?

    Since we are on the subject of ponds.... I live on 20 acres and have a big pond, but the ducks won't get in there due to the snapping turtles... so we are in the process of making a much, much smaller pond, it's in the perfect location... by the coop, it will be around 12X12X3 ft..... now here's...

    First, I have 3 males, 3 females, 2 males are 15 mths old and the other is 4 mths.... they sleep at night in the coop with the chickens, no problems whatsoever.... my females are 4 mths old, and one has layed her first egg... very soft... haven't had any since... now here's the stupid...

    I hate my chickens!! however I am starting to like them again pg 5

    Try and keep in mind that chickens give so much more than eggs..... they are pest control, can be very loyal companions, mood lifter.... if my girls never layed another egg I would still love and have them.. they have become a part of my farm and my life that I will never go without them...
