New duck tractor

[Airplaneguy57]

I'm building a new duck tractor and was wondering how big of a door do the need? Since these are the DWs I need it to be as perfect as this non carpenter can do. I plan on posting pictures when I'm done.

Welcome, Airplaneguy57,

For what it is worth, I am thinking two ducks wide and a couple of inches taller than the ducks. Don't know where I picked that up, though. At least this response may help keep your topic near the top, so someone with more experience can respond. Have you seen the duck tractor videos on youtube?

Thanks for welcome. I'm also building a chicken tractor but learned ducks grow alot faster. No I haven't seen the videos. Going there now.

Wow, buddy, do they grow fast!!!!! Really!!! You can almost see them grow!

My runners grew in sections, more or less. They arrived very round and fuzzy with tiny little bills. In two days, their legs looked twice as large. As the legs kept growing, a few days later their bills had greatly elongated, and the roundness was replaced by more of a canoe shape to their bodies. And they shot up in height, maybe a half an inch a day. Once they were near 18 inches tall (by 3 or 4 weeks, maybe?) their wings started elongating and their feathers had mostly come in on their bellies and tail.

Zoom!
