Duckling setup- Am I ready?

[Bridger Davis]

Hi everyone! I wanted to run my plan by you all and make sure I'm not forgetting anything. I have an order on premier 1 supplies ready to go. it consists of The prima heat lamp, the prima heat lamp stand, the bulbs, Coop 'n compost, a stand to keep the feeders and waterers off the ground in the brooder, a feeder, and chick grit. I will be making my own waterer out of an old milk jug. At tractor supply co, I will be getting waterers and feeders for the adult birds, straw for the brooder and adult bird area, oyster shell, feed, and a heated water bowl for the winter. At the home depot, I will be getting a tote to be used as the brooder for the ducklings. I'll be ordering ducklings at the begining of January and they will come in march. I've also done some work in the area where the ducklings will be. Here is a picture of the finished result.

I'm open to thoughts, opinions, suggestions, and maybe even commands!Thanks everyone!

It all looks great and sounds like you have done your homework.

How many ducks will be going in that house inside your pen? And what breed again?

 

[Bridger Davis]

Yes I have! 6. 2 pekin, 2 cayuga, 2 magpie. Don't worry, the house is bigger than it looks. In fact, I'm going out to measure the coop. brb

Don't worry, I will!!! LOl. The coop is 38" by 48" and the run is much bigger....

 

[Bridger Davis]

But they will have access to the whole gated off area....The hole you see behind the coop is where the pool will be going...

Yes, I need you to make a trip to Colorado to help entertain the little ones. You have the time and money for that, right?
