duck pens

[twoduckmomma]

I live in city limits, and have two pekin ducklings. I have a big fenced in yard for my dogs that I plan to let them share (separately of course)...but during the time they aren't in the big yard, what is your advice on the size of pen to be in during the time I am not home? Love this group. I have named my babies Ricky and Lucy...

first get a pen like this

make sure its 8 by 8 or 10 by ten (preferably)

Chicken wire the sides and top and make sure the gaps are of somewhat covered. Place cement bricks/blocks around the side and they should be fine, but make sure part of it is in the shade and part in the sun, at all times
