Muscovy Setup and Rat Snake Safety
Early this may I had 5 tiny muscovies ducklings. After I lost two, I put a large dog crate in my room that I keep the ducks in from 8:30pm-10:00am.

Drawing up plans for the duck house.
In drawing up the duck house plans I find I have questions. 🤔 Will a 4' tall back wall be high enough? I know that will limit standing fully upright to clean but with a single slant roof it shouldn't be to bad. ..maybe. The front wall is looking like 6'3" will be my max height.
