ornamental duck aviary plans,breeds.. etc

[Mccluckers]

soooo,i have completely fallen in love with ornamentals/wildfowl! the problem is that i will probably will be moving house in a year-2 years so i don't want to build an aviary because i will have to take it all down again when we move so i have to wait like 2 years!!! my patience is aweful.

anyway i have already planned it and i will se what your guys think.

so it will be about 16x60 and i was wondering how many birds i will be able to fit in there comfortably. i am looking at mandarins,wood ducks,teals,,widgens and whistling ducks.

i would like to be able to sell some of the offspring. presumably that mean i need 2 pairs of each variety so i can sell unrelated pairs (male from one pairs clutch and female from the others.)

what do you think of this plan? i am aware i may not be able have all these breeds but yeh.... your verdict will decide!

thank you in advance

Mc you should go to the ornemantal thread there you'll find more members that keep these types of ducks and lots of pics of their aviary. Not many here do this on large scale.

This is a slow time of year here on BYC everyone outside doing all the things that need done, so don't give up someone will come in but in the meantime look at all the pics on the threads of the ducks your interested in you'll get ideas that way to while you wait. Destin Duck comes to mind he has an awesome aviary for his many ornamentals
