Our ducks are only 1 week old so they won't be going outside for a while but I'm getting really stressed about making sure their duck run will be predator proof. We have their coop mostly build and I think may have made it a little big, pictures are attached below. The top edge is 8ft tall, it is 10.5 ft wide. We plan to make the run 10.5ft X 23ft.
What is the best fencing that people have found to prevent predators? We also plan to let them into our fenced backyard when we are out to supervise them.
Electric fence?
Hardware Cloth?
Other fencing?
Part of the fence sunk into the ground?
I have read through lots of posts about fencing but seem to get overwhelmed by all the different options and often have a hard time visualizing the ideas.
We have hawks, coyotes, raccoons, and probably a lot of other predators that I'm not thinking.
Thanks,
Tracy
