*Post pictures of your duck pen/coop!!* :)

Here's a picture of our outdoor run, it measures about 100'x45'. The ducks have a stall in our barn as their coop......the door opens right into the run. It is completely netted on top and I used 2x3 welded wire attached to the fence.

That is a huge run... your ducks are very lucky! I could never get the flight top netting to do well, where I live, there is way to much snow

This is ours, nothing fancy. The blue tarp was replaced this winter with 6 t-5 boards.

Check this one...the chicken wire holds up pretty well with LOTS of snow!It has bowed some but for now it works until we put fencing on top.

I really like your set-up... gathering ideas before my big endeavor. How big is it?

Thanks on the size... it helps me think

Do you lock them in the coop at night?
I also see you used the welded dog wire... have you been happy with that?

Is that a pond partially covered by plywood?

halecards; I read the first page and noticed you wanted to know the gender of your Welsh Harlequins.

I have a pair and my female, and I think this is normally true, has a dark bill and then my male has the white/lighter bill.
