Thanks! We are in New Jersey in the US. Yes my husband hasn’t finished yet - he is going to cut the zip ties and add the sun shade.

Hi! We need some ideas of how to make this less of an eyesore. I was thinking putting planters around the base with some plants that are useful and safe for ducks, maybe with vines to go up the outside corners. I need some suggestions for plants and vines that are safe. Any other ideas to make...

Great - thank you so much for the feedback! It’ll save me some money :)

Hi All. We are in the process of building coops and runs for 8 week old ducks and chickens. We are planning to use the 300 gal stock tank for the pond. It has a drain, but I am thinking a pump / filtration system might be a good idea - however I am reading contrary opinions. I’d really like to...

Oh my gosh I had no idea! I feel like I have no clue what I am doing with the ducks - I keep reading conflicting information. Thank you for letting me know!

I also have dried crickets, cracked corn, black oil sunflower seeds. When can they eat those? And when...

Thanks! Definitely following your progress!

Thanks!

Hi all! I am new here, and new to back yard birds. May 6th our 4 chicks & 2 ducks were hatched, and they are still in their brooders in our garage - but I can see they are going to need their coops and run setup ASAP. I ordered a stock tank for the duck pool, but now I am having second thoughts...
