Hi guys, I started my version of duck aquaponics.
I googled and found a few variations of duck aquaponics and only found a few posts or articles, most which were discontinued or abandoned. Being a expert at aquaponics and having raised chickens for a few years, I thought it'd be cool to have fresh duck eggs so I constructed something similar to my chicken coops.
I recently found Wifezilla's duck-ponics thread and thought I'd share my build and problems.
I started with 2 pekin ducklings and then added 2 more a few weeks later to try to get a mating pair. It'll be a few more months before I can figure out their sex (Drake feather) so the coop was only built for 2. I may remove one of there are 2 boys to accommodate or possibly build a new setup with a bigger pond.
