Ok guys, this is my work in progress. I was working on it hard for about a month or so but then I kind of slacked off a bit when I put the birds in it. I still have some trim work that I want to do but I'm already thinking about making some changes to it before I finish the trim. I did however insalate it and I also have a fan on a timer to suck the warm air out in the summer so that fresh air can come in through the two windows. Let me know what you think!

Secondly, that is one AWESOME chickencoop! You may as well just get started building another one because I'm sure that you'll have them both filled up by the time spring rolls around. I have so many roosters right now that I'm bartering them for hay to feed to my horses.

I'd butcher them if I had the time but I'm too busy moving. Oh well...

Enjoy the forum -- They are a great group of people.

I think Mike has call ducks. About the muscovys, you may want to go with less than 10. They multiply like rabbits. LOL.
Once the girls start laying eggs and hatching, it all goes downhill from there. lol. Just joking. If u can control the number that hatches, u will be ok. That was my problem. I let it get out of control but at the same time I have enough duck in the freezer for me and will be processing 30 more, so as far as meat, I'm stocked. Duck gumbo is yummy.

The muscovies are pretty big so a half dozen would be plenty to start with. Im jealous that you have so many ducks to eat. If you were closer I would buy some meat from you. I miss eating duck gumbo. It is rare that you find duck for sale in the grocery store. I used to hunt them but its been years since I did that. Next Spring I will get some eggs from you to hatch some if you still have them. Thanks for the response.

Mike, I have a few muscovies, and a few pekin ducks that I bought this past spring. I also hope to have TOO many ducks next spring. I may have to take lessons from Julie.
