Call duck pen ideas!

[FunnyfarmMidwest]

If you can get some (5-6) pallets they might work as long as you've got a piece of plywood for the top and bottom. Take some scrap wood to fill in the spaces between the pallet boards. I wouldn't have the ducks be directly on the ground but a pallet is a good hight for them to get into with a ramp. It wouldn't be too steep.

That is a good idea. It is definitely feasible since I have around six pallets in my backyard and some useable wood too . Thanks much for the ideas!

It won't be fancy but it will work! Just get some hardware cloth and put it wherever there are spaces something like a weasel can get through and you should be good to go!

I made a pallet shelter for mine in the run for during the day for shade and when it rains. One of the maintenance guys at Sam's club gave me some big thick sheets of plastic/rubber-like stuff that they put between the product of breakable liquids on the pallets. It's the size of pallets and I put it on top of the roof of my pallet hut in the run. It's as dry as can be too even with all the rain we've had.

I put a pallet on top, then an old piece of plywood and then the black rubber stuff on top of that. It's not beautiful by any means but the ducks seem to love it.

My ducklings arrived! I couldn’t love them more! Out of the six I received 2 snowy, 1 pastel, 1 grey, 1 black bibbed, and one white! Most all were energetic and all were healthy! They are so cute! I am worried about one of the snowy’s as it seems more tired than the rest. It may just be because of the long trip though. I’ve attached a picture of it sleeping. It seems ok right now. It ate food and drank water with electrolytes.

Adorable! Congrats!

Thanks! I am so happy with them! They are so sweet and so much smaller than my Jumbo pekins were even when they first hatched. I used to think they were small!

Feeder is empty and what's in the water to make it not clear?

I filled the feeder back up right after I took this picture. I just received them. That is food in their water it was just filled again less than an hour ago. Every time they eat they seem to get food into their water. Also the water is yellow because there is electrolytes in it.

I have owned ducks since 2010 and can assure you I am taking good care of them. They will and already are constantly provided with fresh food and water.
