    Ancona Ducks

    the easyest way is to sit with them nearest to the food as possible within a few feet. its why i have a chair in or near all of my coops. just sit their reading a book etc and when they get to the point that they aren't scared to eat around you then you start in with treats my ducks are canned...

But all hope isn't lost if you do decide not to kill...

    Please show me your hot weather coops

    depends on the amount of rain. The place where my chickens sleep is roofed completely so unless the rain is coming in sideways everything stays dry but I do have a water resistant shutter like covering for the side wall near the place where they roost if such a storm is coming. I just put it...
