I am attempting to grow a running bamboo. I can see the running roots, but I guess the birds eat the new shoots??? I am hoping it will grow nicely this year. My duck aviary is a muddy mess. I have pampas grass, a black currant bush, bamboo, and some random bushes which are hardly surviving...
Have a lot of perches for sure. I like adding logs and tree stumps. You can put in an old christmas tree like Tony does. If you ask this in the pheasant thread I am sure you will get lots of good ideas.
10ft x 20ft would be the best. The bigger the better. Because if you want more birds eventually, wouldn't you want a bigger pen? Even if you do not go that big, make sure there a lot of hiding places and perches. Trust me, a big pen is nice to have with ducks. The bigger the cage, the more...
Yes the red goldens and ducks will coexist without any issue. The pen is on the smaller side... A red golden male can easily stress out a hen with their constant chasing. If she does not have places to hide he could kill her. But that is more of a worst case scenario.
