    Several Duck Questions

    Thanks again for all the wonderful feedback. I think the 'run' for my house will now just become a watering and feeding station. What should the dimensions be for that? Do you guys just keep the feed in a bucket, bowl, or hog feeder? I also love the rubber stall mat idea. It sounds like the...

    Quote: I think I may try the tile flooring thing. Do I need to use the bedding if I give the birds nest boxes with bedding in them instead?

    Several Duck Questions

    Quote: Those are some good ideas. Luckily, I have really sandy soil where I live, so puddling isn't much of an issue at all. For the sides of a house, what do you guys use? Do you use planks of treated lumber or do you use plywood?

    Several Duck Questions

    I'm hoping to get some ducks to keep as pets/egg layers and I have a few questions. 1. I'm planning on making the ducks an outside house that is around 2'x2'x4' or 4'x4'x4' with a small run attached. How would I ventilate the house besides the door to the run? 2. How many ducks should I start...
