Pix of Duck Pens and Huts? Please help...

[SterlingAcres]

I've been searching, but can't find anything I need.

I'm building a 'duck tractor' until I know these adopted ducks are safe to add in with my chickens. I'm thinking maybe 10ish, depends what the lady has (waiting to hear back).

DH ran out to get my netting and the rest of the supplies to finish the run (so we can go grab our jake from Jody and Charlie). So, we'll be building this thing tonight and tomorrow.

It's their quarantine, so can you show me some helpful pictures? I have an idea, but a visual would be fantastic!!!

thanks soooo much guys!

Oh, they're Pekin ducks, if that helps with measurement issues...

Sorry!

 

[SterlingAcres]

Wow... Really?

Just get some fence post stakes and pound them in the ground and get some chicken wire and fence it in to make a temparary pen for the ducks until the quarintene period is over.

I agree but here's mine

Here is a pic of 5 of my 6 ducks in the 40 gallon troft. My Khaki Campbell Drake is the 1 not in the pic.

Do ducks need a roof (netting of some type) so that they don't fly out or will they stay put in a pen?

Will need a roof. My Muscovies can fly out so I put a cheap bird netting over and it works fine.

I disagree on roofing to contain- my Pekins are so huge and heave that they couldn't even THINK of flying. They can't even get in the kiddie pool without flapping like mad and grunting. You may want some netting to keep flying critters out though.

It depends on if you have a breed that can fly or not. I put netting over mine to help keep out other kinds of birds because they steal all the duck food.
