Happy birthday lil duckie!

Now he is 18 days old.
It seems like just 2 days ago he was 16.
I told you here is growing too fast!

My pen is actually an old dog run, maybe you could see if you could find one second hand... I personally opt to do the secure housing at night vs pen...

Is there any way your dad could build a coop that can have doors/wooden window covers that come down and latch at night? This way she could be hidden out of sight during the night, rather than being an advertised buffet. It is much more expensive I am sure, but if your dad is willing,,,,,,, Raccoons and such are constantly troublesome.

They sure are, I have some that visit every night, but I can rest easy knowing my flock is secure in their house, It's a good feeling.

That sounds nice but we really don't have the money.
Am I being a jerk to my duckling?!

Have you considered recycled materials? I just designed a 5'X5' chicken coop that I should be able to build for under $50 out of pallets, cinderblocks, newspaper insulation and old furniture. Check on Craigslist and keep in mind that if you find a shelf it can always become several pieces of wood instead of a shelf. ;3

I don't know but I'll find somthing!
Raccoons are nasty little bugger aren't they!?
We have some in Arkansas and dump our trash every where!
