I was thinking maybe owl, unfortunately. I have looked up in the trees, but there are plenty of staging areas for a owl or hawk in the night pens. I was rather shocked when something went after the Grey Runners, they are very tall, around 2.5 feet or more tall and camouflaged. Never had...

I know what coon attacks, possums , dog attacks ect. look like. Been a long time. I lock my ducks and geese into 4ft kennel fenced area at night with NOW 3 strands of hot wire around it. The gates only have one at the top. Daytime my birds get let out in 4ft tall fenced small pastures with...

They need about 90 degree Fahrenheit, the first week or so. 2 nd week and on you can lower to 80’s, ect… Not outside unprotected until their backs are feathered out. They need some room to move around. Make sure any water container , they can get out of. A chicken starter crumble will work. Or...

I have a fenced carport inside the fenced , hotwired night yard. Geese and ducks do not do well in 'chicken coops' type enclosures. They produce too much 'humidity' especially in the hot south...I would have to have a large barn to have enough square footage and the cleaning would be...
