    Duck Breed Focus - Welsh Harlequin

    Yeah, I hear you. I have always liked to eat duck. But I can't eat my own. I have raised them from day 3 and they are part of the family. They are not yet at POL so there hasn't been any abusive behaviour. But I'm watching for it. We'll see.

    Duck Breed Focus - Welsh Harlequin

    Yes, I'm facing the drake issue. 5 of my 8 chick's turned boyish, including one I was sure would be a duck. They all have names so roast duck is not an option for me.I may just give 3 drakes away if I can find a kind soul who wants them.

    Winter shelter box - what height?

    Good point, Pattyhen. I can open the coop from the top, but it would be so much easier if I could walk inside.

    Winter shelter box - what height?

    I'm new to this, but have a small coop 4x6 for eight WH ducks. I keep plenty of dry straw and or pine chips in there for the birds to nestle in. The coop is 4 feet high with 2" screened openings at the tops of the walls. Walls are T1-11, about 1/2" thick plywood. The ducks seem content and will...
