    Your duck pen....

    I used zip ties in certain areas but to secure the netting to the fencing I wanted something wider so I used the clips intended for sunscreen fabric. I found them next to the fabric in the outdoor area at Lowe’s and they worked really well. I plan to add a strip of that fabric over the house...

    I did bury the hardware cloth all the way around and have a few pavers around but I think I will add the pavers all the way around. I added an aviary netting to the top secured with some serious clips.

    Aviary netting is up all the way around and I’m sleeping a little better at night! Oh... and this happened!

    BEAR PROOF?!?! Wow!! I’m in a downtown neighborhood so possums, owls, and cats are my most likely issues. I have it easy comparatively!

    I have aviary netting on the way to me. I think I will pitch it and attach all the way around. This will at least add some protection from owls or hawks.

    That is straw. It controls the mud.

    I totally get the paranoid thing right now! I do eventually want to upgrade their house but I need to do the best I can with what I have for now. I was told not to use security lights near them as it upsets hem but the flashlight is probably the very same effect.

    I definitely lock them in but I do want to add the smaller gauge wire to the doors of the house. I buried that tiny gauge wire around the outside of the entire pen and even added it to the door so no large snakes could get in. I know nothing is 100% but I do love them and want them to be as safe...

    I put them in myself before sunset and they have good cover from the house and the 15ft+ bushes/trees on the other side of the pen but we do have owls. I will need to brainstorm a more permanent roof! Thank you!

    We have possums and cats in the neighborhood. I’ve seen one small fox but never in my yard as my dogs alert and run off most anything. Then pen is outside our master bathroom window which I’ve left open to hear if they alert us. The pen is well tucked into our yard which is 100% fenced in 5ft...

    Well, they are in the house locked up at night. I am adding much tighter wire as a second layer to what is there now on the doors of the house. They are inside the pen (5ft) which is inside our chain link fence (5ft). We do have possums here and I’ve seen a small fox in our neighborhood before...

    I left the ducks out for the first time last night even though the pen isn’t quite finished. The wire is all up and the house is put together. I have locks on the gate but we plan to add a pitched tarp (just temporary plastic cover right now) to the house side, I have a bigger pool, and I’m...
