Back to duck fence ... why not run a piece of plastic or rubber down the metal wall of building, then snug up the electric fence to close the gap?

A 4"-6" wide by however tall your fence is piece of plexiglass or depending on how much looks is a concern ... stop by the back row of a truck stop and pick up a mud flap that fell off ... circular saw will cut it in strips ...

good idea. For now I will pull back the fence from the barn and circles it till it touches. This means I will have to herd the young ones in but it's time they learn to be herded. It's time to move the fence anyway for fresh grass for the geese. I have them cooped again today and I am getting a good cussing every time I check on them.

Yes they all come between 1 and3. If coyote it will be back tomorrow,if bobcat not till next week. Sorry that I know that. I will sit out with the AR again but it usually doesn't help.

OMG that is horrible. I hope you get it right between the eyes

@WannaBeHillBilly Thank you for showing the rest of BYC how to create the Momma Heat Cave. I am still waiting for my four

ducklings, this will get them off to a good start.

I think I am going to use some foam pipe insulation. I can wrap the last pole and snug it up to the barn.

They will be so cute in there. When do you get them?

@Magnolia Ducks I am not sure I am waiting for a call from the fellow BYC'er that will hatch them for me. I am a nervous new daddy trying to get everything gathered up or built before they arrive.

So very exciting. I will wait for pictures.
