I was just reading through this thread. I ended up with 5 ducklings yesterday, which were planned for but not yet. Anyway, the feed store gave me Organic chick starter to go with them, but I am a little panicked over the Niacin now. I live in a tiny town and can only find the time release...

Looks great! I have 14 3X6 raised beds, 1, 3X18, and I'm building two more that will be 3X12 or 3X18. Much more efficient than a row garden I think, and so much less work once you get them set up. No tilling, and you can control the soil.

Sounds good, that all helps a lot. Since I sleep about 20 feet away from the run, and the rabbits would throw a fit I am not too worried about predators. I may string a hot wire along the top of the entire thing though to keep something from climbing in. Considering the $$ value of the rabbits...

Cool! I am adding ducks to the other side of my porch too, nothing like a triple compost source. I'll continue to throw the cat waste out in the current pile. It's pretty urine filled, nothing I would want to put on plants before a year or 2.

If I lock them up at night do I need to cover it? Do they need food and water in the area with them at night?

I am curious about this. I have a compost pile on the end of my property, that I keep a good mix of things in, but I have major problems with wild critters going after my food scraps. We have wild animals regardless on this property, and they don't bother me, but it seems rather silly to just...

I will take some better ones tomorrow, been nothing but rain! Here though are a couple. This is the outside of the fenced area showing the location next to the screened porch. Here is the inside. Before chickens go in, alongside the fence will be another bank of cages like this. It opens...

I am thinking of adding a few chickens to the homestead. They would be living in the following environment, underneath my rabbit cages: The area is 8X32 or about, a little wider in places. My cages are all hung with the tops 4' above the ground, and are covered with PVC roofing panels. The...

Hello everyone, I have been reading through threads, and websites in preparation for getting ducks. But I am wondering if I am on the right track: We live on a little over an acre, lots of open land, and we actually back to a lake though it is NOT my plan to allow my domestic ducks down...
