I have room to separate them if I need to, but I'm hoping that won't be the case.
I'm hoping everyone will be big enough to go out to the barn by next weekend when I have company coming - the smell is manageable because I know it will end soon, but visitors probably won't be as forgiving...
I spent a good deal of last night looking thru some of the old threads and stealing pictures for ideas....
WOW!!
This is what I'm starting with, a 8' x 14' horse stall:
The timber right in front is part of the wall between the two stalls and I am thinking of putting my nesting boxes...
I know all my chickens are females and I'm HOPING all of the ducks are as well. I'd like to be able to open the door in the mornings, let them spend their days kicking around the horse pen, give them a visit at lunch time and then herd them in at night.... I might try to trade away drakes if it...
I bought 4 ducks at Tractor Supply almost two weeks ago and they are now 5 times the size, but I picked 2 more about 3 days ago and the bigger ones seemed to pick on them a bit so I've seperated them for now...
In a few weeks all of the ducks and 6 chickens I got with the first set of ducks...
