Ok i want some ideas for duck pens that i can just put my lovely ducks in at night. Should it just be shelter or should i have some fencing in it too. Also i am looking for a new breed. Mine are just "mutts" I want pics of the breed you would recomend too please. and what nice feature you like about them. Perferably not to expensive. Thanks for looking
 
For housing, you can either build a coop or use a large doghouse. As long as they are safe from predators, anything will work.

As for what breed to get, think about what you want. If you want them to lay lots of eggs, get Khaki Campbells, Welsh Harlequins, or Runners. If you just want pretty ducks, get Blue Swedish, Mallards, or Cayugas. If you want meat, get Muscovies, Pekins, or Cayugas.

WIFEZILLA you babies are so big now!
right now mine go in my greenhouse at night to keep them safe but i am getting a chainlink dog run with a chain link roof to keep coons and such out and offering them a few dog houses if they choose to use them;)
as for breeds we all have our favs. my favs are all of them but im not to impressed by the pekins they dont seem to bright and i feel have little personality.
