    Raised duck pen!

    After getting some ideas from other users I built some of my own raised pens for my Black East Indies. I thought I would share mine with everyone too! I’m very happy with how it turned out. Still need to put metal on the roof and a couple other things.

    Best incubator/Brooder?

    Emit my 9 year old Call duck has tried to sit this time on her eggs earlier this year, however, she left the nest. She has started laying again, should I leave her again with them and hope she stays or should I attempt to incubate? If so what’s the best incubator to get ?
