    Need suggestions for duck pen improvement - standing water and .. algae?

    I would say A LOT MORE rock for sure. You can always put mulch on top of that as well. If wet is the issue, then rock sinks into the soggy ground, so you have to use much more than you believe you need. I would definitely say if mine looked like that I would be doing as I am suggesting because I...

    Ideas for a muddy duck pen

    I would put gravel in half of your pen (on top of the mulch you already have in that half. Or if you add onto your pen just for pool/water purposes I would definitely put gravel/rock there. As long as it's shaded in the summer it won't get hot and your ducks will be totally fine. I have rock...

    Keeping clean tips?

    Space is a big factor, but also the deep litter method is AMAZING if you keep food and water OUT of the coop. My ducks have been outside in their pen and coop for 4 1/2 weeks (they are 8 1/2 weeks old) and I have yet to clean my coop. I have 6 ducks in 24sq ft (I may get 2 more ducks and keep...

    Sand for Duck House Bedding?

    If you have grass in the pen area, you may want to rethink tearing everything out. I have had ducks for about 8 1/2 weeks, and they have been outside since they were 4 weeks old in their pen (300sq ft) and coop. I read about the sand thing and thought about doing it. However, I changed my mind...

    what is needed for a duck?

    So what’s the update? Did you get them? I have 300sq ft run for my 6 ducks and 25ft of irrigated ditch that runs through it. I have NEVER had an issue with their pen or coop being smelly (not even a little bit). I spray down their pen (hose the poo into the grass) once a week and use the deep...

    How important is a pond for ducks

    I got ducks this year, so I don't know a ton... But I decided since we have irrigation that instead of a pond, we would use the ditch. I incorporated 25 feet of ditch into our duck pen, and we have 6 ducks (thinking about extending it to 30ft because we may add a couple more). I can tell you...

    Fake grass artificial turf, 3 yrs and counting with ducks

    Is pdz safe for ducks or chickens? I can't find anything saying it is or isn't... Was thinking about using it on the bottom of my coop because it seems like it would probably be a good idea, but I'm not sure about the safety?
