Hi there,
I'm about to build a duck house and I was wondering if I really need to build a duck run and do the 2 feet in the ground fencing around it if the ducks are going to be indoors from dusk till dawn...
Or how do you time when your ducks come out? do they come out into the run earlier in the morning and hang out past sundown because the door stays open since the whole thing is predator proof?
I used to have chickens and the door to their run was open 24/7, and the run was under the coop. But I fenced that thing so tight nothing could get in. I'm struggling with the design for the ducks a bit and I went to some older posts but I'm not finding them very helpful.
Can anyone give me advice or direct me to some useful designs they've seen online?
