Lophura- I'm not shure of what gauge it is but it is a dog kennel
when i do get some woodies or mandies i will most likely clip there flight feathers
Mark- the muscovies are going to move out after breeding season
Would this pen I build be large enough for a pair of woodies or mandies
It is 10x 10 covered and 10x 10 opened
Of course the scovies would have to move out first
I wouldn't recomend keeping ducks and chickens together
1. because most chickens are bigger than mallards
2. the chickens can peck and kill the ducks ( i know because it happen to me)
3. Ducks need more water than chickens and the ducks make a bigger mess with it
Its possible that they can learn to fly again if you clip both wings
I've clipped my muscovies on one wing but they still kinda hover if you know what i mean
