Thats pretty cool. Mine is way too big though, and I wouldnt ever block the view of the pond. I just want to add to the look with a few pretty ducks! We have always had wild geese, Blue Herring, and wild birds but no ducks ever visit.
Oh ok, thank you for asking! I never thought of that beforehand! No we dont have one anymore. We did have it but unfortunately (well, unfortunately before I had ducks I guess now!) the neighborhood voted against it. Luckily my neighborhood is pretty new, and is kept precise regardless. Ive...
Very cool, thank you for that link. I didnt know they had those. I saw some at Farm & Fleet that you drop this round metal pipe in the bowl and it heats it. Im glad they have actual ones for waterers (if thats even a word? lol) My ducks try to swim in their little waterer now so I'd hate to see...
Thank you so much everyone! I was expecting answers like no you need a huge house for them! lol. I figured they all huddle together anyway so they should be fine. Now for winter, they will be living in a small one bedroom but its better than freezing!

Awesome! I read about using the same phrase or sound to have them come when called. Ive been using this the past week and it works well. Right now they follow me around regardless of the duck call, but when I do the call they all come running to me! When they are in the brooder I do it and they...
Thank you so much! This gives me hope! I was getting worried after seeing all the enclosed coops for ducks. I was starting to think there was a reason for everyone having a huge aviary with their ducks caged in. How much space do you think 8 ducks will need? I'm supposed to keep 2, and sell or...
I just hatched 8 Pekin Ducks, and one surprise Indian Runner-Pekin mix. They are 7, 6, and 5 days old, and quickly growing! I need to build a duck coop and I was wondering how I should do it. I was assuming I could build a chicken like coop but when I looked up duck coop all the duck coops were...
