I have no idea what I am doing

oops

Its ok we've all done it at one time or another!

Question!!!! how do you secure your ducks at night with a set up like this? Love it!

The entire coop and outdoor area are closed in with 1/4 inch hardware cloth and a 12 in perimeter of hardware cloth all around the perimeter as well as an electric fence and security cameras lol. I’m a bit over protective but they are my babies and I have to keep them safe.

Lmao as soon as we are done digging the moat.

Moat won't be a good idea...Flynn and Lucky might not want to go to bed.

Your telling me. Some night we can’t get them out of the pond to go inside. Other times they see us and jump right out and run up the ramp but not always lol

Hey guys. Happy spring to all. I have a question. Lucky started laying again two weeks ago. Last year she only missed one egg a month. In the last week and a half she seems to skipped a day here and there. Is that normal?

Howdy! Good to hear from you.
I think it's pretty normal. My Cayuga ducks skip days too. Haven't had an issue yet.

I would think it's perfectly normal. Also probably as in chickens, each year they lay less eggs. You mean she laid an egg almost every day last year? That's quite impressive!
It's nice to see them again! Glad to have an update!

Yes. Very normal. My girls do that some. I like to encourage skipping days or breaks. Their bodies are put under real pressure when laying everyday so having a break is good so she is not straining her body every day. So glad to hear from you and your ducks look great!
