I'll put up my photos later, right now i have 8 ducks, well 7 ducks and a drake, and 12 chickens. The ducks are 1 aylisbury, 1 khaki Campbell, (use to have 2 of each until a fox visited), 1 pekin, 1 chiltren, 2 Indian runners and 1 indian runner drake, the chickens are 8 hybrids, 2 pure breeds and 2 rescues, can remember what the pure breeds are, the hybrids are 2 amber stars, 2 bluebelles, 2 midsummers, and can't think of the other 2, I also have 3 dogs, all rescues, 2 mixed collies and a jack russel mixed with a shih tzu, so i have 2 coops i've made for my ducks and chickens, and i have a bought kennel for the dogs, but my better half thinks its a little small for the 3 of them so my next project is to build a new kennel (will do that today) and then i'm going to make a big run for them too as we have one that likes to wander when we arent at home.
After that i've loads of plans;
- Make a new pond for ducks with a pump going into a home made filter which will be a barrel full of gravel, hopefully will grow some chick weed in the barrel that the ducks can eat too, kinda bit of duckponics - thats the idea anyway,
- Then i need to make a brooder for some ducklings i plan to get and i'll use the old dog kennel as a coop for them and build a new run on to it.
- Then i need to finish my polytunnel and put in a few raised beds,
- Then i'll move my bees to my house, they are still in my mams i've moved into my current house which i built in 2013 but still doing stuff to the house so the bees are here yet as i think builders and the likes might refuse to work here if they were about,
So thats where i'm at, as i said in my previous post doing a lot of similar stuff to yourself but way behind, and then well in the future i hope to get a second poly tunnel and add an aquaponics system with some brown trout in it and a wormery to feed the fish.
I'll add some photos later or in a few days,
