    free range or run??

    I have raccoons and foxes that prowl at night. They occasionally get some of my chickens. They do free range all day, but i only let them out after 8 and they go in at dusk. I'm worried about the ducks being confined in a "coop" until i let them out in the morning.

    free range or run??

    I'm thinking about raising ducks for meat, either pekins or muscovy. does anybody raise ducks in an enclosed run all the time? I'm trying to decide whether i should invest in making another permanent run to raise duck and turkey in, or risk free ranging them.

    Best Dp Bird

    I'm looking to breed my own DPs. I'd like some opinions on the best dp breed to free range. My wife likes the large eggs of ameracaunas, are they good for meat? If I'm going to breed my own, is it better to order from a hatchery or from a specialist breeder? Thanks!
