    Duck Coops and Tips

    Hello, I have recently been thinking about getting some ducks. My problem though is where and how do I house them? I do have a barn and I could turn a small space of that into a duck coop, but I’m not sure the specifics of the coop. Would it be a problem to have a wood floor? Or does anyone have...

    It’s a Dream Come True

    About two years ago when I hatched my first batch of ducklings, I dreamed of how they would be. I dreamed they’d be sweet, cuddly, that they’d follow me around. Unafraid. Most importantly, I dreamed that, once grown, I could walk them down to my pond in the morning. Course, some of this came...
