My boss's kids had a 4-H project that outgrew the space in his yard. Since I have a pond on my property, I volunteered to take the 3 eight week old Pekin ducks off his hands. I spent the past two weekends setting up a pen and moving an unused dog house into it, and they moved in yesterday!
The best part is... if I can manage to keep these birds healthy and predator free until spring, my wife will consent to more ducks and/or chickens next year! (I feel like a kid again, eh?)
I was going to post pictures of the ducks in their new home but apparently new members can't include images. They're in my profile, though! The gate is really tall intentionally. It was made with 8' 2x3's so I can toss netting over it and run it to the back of the pen and still be able to stand up.
