Hey guys! I have made a few threads in the past about fixing the mud problem in my duck coop. I'm adding greenery, hoping that will help absorb water, but have found that everyone with the most success has two areas to rotate the ducks through.
I found a way to make a second area, I'm thinking of making a neat fence around our garden, and using that as a second area. I won't cover it, so they will only be in that area when we are here all day, which is very often. Then, I can grow grass in the muddy coop, and rotate between areas so nothing gets muddy.
My biggest question is about the green house. I want to use that as the coop. So, right now, we have large plastic chunks surrounding ed a wood frame. The chunks are cracked, broken, and full of holes from years of age. If I replace all of the plastic, will that be enough protection from predators? I would do an inside layer of wire, but the weeds will climb that, weave between it, and be hard to keep down. Suggestions?
I'm very excited about this project, it will take some time and probably be at the end of the list, but eventually, hopefully this summer, I want to get that done. Thanks guys!
