You're over thinking it. It can be more of a hutch if you want. It's mostly gonna be for protection from predators. Ducks can actually handle temps down around 0. They just need a wind break. Heat should also be kept in mind. Vents should be put in to keep it cool and clean in the summer

You can always clip his wings. Does someone own the peking?

Beautiful ducks! Great pen!

That's why I'm always hesitant to name when they're young. I think he/she will be a pretty bird

Alrighty will do

So he has made alot of progress, but he will be all alone for a while. Is there anything i should do for him?

May i ask what he is?

It sounds like a raccoon did it. Is the top of the pen closed?

Today is day 25 for my duck eggs. I just took them off the turner and discovered ones already pecking his way through! He must be ready to get out

Imagine it with 13 ducks haha. i love the khakis. Might be my favorite breed

At that age i would give them water over night. Ducks can't sweat so they pant like dogs to cool down. As long as they're in shade they're fine. And for your pen. If its completely enclosed over top it should be fine. I always heard if a 3 year old can get into a coop then a raccoon can. Also...

Sorry guys, i was out of town. It is in fact my blue Swedish drake

Thank you very much

Me too, she's the star of the show

from what it sounds like my duck had a smaller wound. This is probably why the maggots didn't kill her. And my mistake, she lost her right eye

Food water and shelter. Provide that and you'll do just fine. Make sure you use duck food, make sure water is clean, and make sure they have a SAFE place to sleep at night. Good duck breed to start with. They aren't to loud, they're pertty, and they are friendly. Good luck :)

Ok so it send like it depends on the scenario. Keep that duckling inside

Miss Lydia I'm not sure that's true. Maggots only eat dead tissue so they could actually keep it clean. The only reason i say this is because i had a raccoon attack last year and my khaki lost her left eye. I kept her inside and it swelled and got funky. I let her out and noticed maggots a few...

I know the one time i had mallards (never doing that again) i clipped their wings. It doesn't hurt them. The reason i clipped then was because a few escaped. They don't need to migrate as long as you take care of them in cold weather.
