    Predator, HELP!

    Do you think that an electric fence would do the trick so I wouldn't have to build a top?

    Introducing young ducks to the rest of the flock

    I think if you introduce them in a space where they are seperate but able to see each other, hear and smell each other it will definitely help. You can stick chicken wire between there spaces.

    Ramp for ducks in a chicken coop

    I have a set up like yours. I made a chicken coop about they feet off the ground when I had chickens. Then we got ducks. After trial and error I found that a wide long board securely attached and covered in shelf liner works best for my ducks. I also trained them ( witch definitely took some...
