Yes I do but it's a really tiny run. I've seen people have posted runs here that are bigger and spaceous.
I was going to buy material to make a new coop and run, but I noticed that I have an unused dog kennel in the back that we built 3 years ago. I might convert it into a run for them, and...
So yesterday I did some testing and I added their waterer to the side where there was no water. I found out the reason there's a lot of water on the ground is because of their waterer. My guess is that the ducks and roosters spill the water :/
Oh wow that's a good idea! I have the ducks waterer inside their coop, and I've never thought of doing that. I might have to build that in the chicken and duck coops.
Yes, I found a board of plywood in my shed :) I found at least two of them.
I'm debating if I should build a new coop for them...
I don't know where it's coming from. There's no leaks in the coops and when it rains I cover their coops with plastic. The only water in their coop is the waterer
@NotableNancy: I'll see if I can find some that store people are willing to give me. I also need to borrow power tools haha I don't own any anymore due to them getting lost...somehow.
@aart: so the duck area needs more space in their coop? I have their coop inside a dog fenced area. I know that...
Oh, I see. I could see if I can get some for free because in my area nobody likes free items. Once I got some wine boxes I use now as the hens laying box, and they wouldn't let me out with them. Long story short, the manager gave me the boxes, and the worker wouldn't let me take them if I didn't...
@NotableNancy: they're wood chips I buy from TSC :D I've been buying them since I bought the little chicks and ducklings, but when Aflac passed away two months ago I changed to sand. The wood bedding would get mold and I don't know if that's what killed my duck. I need to measure my coop since a...
Yes it doesn't last me at all. It only lasts 4 days like today it's my 4th day with the sand in their coop, and they somehow flatten it out like dirt. I scoop their poop out as well in the morning. It smells bad like when I first put their sand it smells great, until 4-5 days it starts to smell...
Yeah I would buy four bags for my coops but I stopped because the aspen wood just piled up outside their coop, got all moldy, and one of my ducks passed two months ago. I don't know if it was the wood because I changed it everyday and it would still get moldy somehow :/ mine don't free range...
I started off with aspen wood, and I changed to sand a couple months back. The sand isn't working for me because it makes the coop smell worse than when I'd use aspen wood. The aspen wood would last me two weeks, and the sand just lasts four days.
Is there something else I could use inside the...
