Duck Tractors.....Lets see 'em!!

[Batty about Banties]

I am thinking a tractor would be awesome for my ducks when they are not able to free range. Any examples?! Let's see those tractors!!

My ducks are in a covered avairy but a tractor would be great to get fresh greens all the time.

I have them in a pen right now but I would like to move them around but still be safe when I'm not in the yard. I think a bigger version of a chicken tractor would work, don't you?

Yes I do and they will be safe from predators.

It would need to be taller, maybe 3 ft? But how would you give them swim space?
It would be REALLY heavy. But it is a GREAT idea.

I have a portable solution for my ducks...I have a 24 foot length of 36" tall hardware cloth that I use as a potable duck yard, I move it to a new area every day and the ducks and geese eat all the weeds. I just put some water and a bowl of feed in there, every other day i give them a masonry mixing basin (home depot for $6.00) full of water to play in. To stake it in place I use some 4' long pieces of rebar, so my enclosure is like a 4x8 rectangle... I generally put a board across the top near one end and drape an old rug over it and a side of the hardware cloth to create some shade too-which my dark brown hybrid ducks really appreciate. this whole thing take 5 minutes or less and works really well... and it can be rolled up when not in use.
