I just love your duck house. It’s so pretty.

Thanks. I wish I would have gone with the metal corrugated roofing instead of the more flexible composite material. But I can change that out later.

We did the same thing - waiting to see how it holds up to snow. We’ll probably be changing it out in the Spring. Alas - it’s a job never really done lol!

I think you have them set they can be out of wind and weather and being in Texas they should be fine. My Runners love the rain even cold rain doesn’t bother them the snow was a bit much but they decided on their own when to go inside their house to get out of it and when to come out . Yours will do just fine.Will you be puttiing up fencing so they can come out and forage one of these days?

Absolutely. Whilst I was building by my duck house, I was also working on constructing a garden. I’m still working on the garden though. Eventually both will have a picket fence surrounding the whole bit with a partition between the duck area and the garden. This way I can let the ducks into the garden or keep them out.

Here is a picture: on the far right I’m still finishing up the valve boxes for the plumbing to be able to turn on or off whichever bed. The rain unfortunately is slowing me down. Once done I will finish with the substrate on that side, clear out beds, fill with soil and compost, and then mulch.

But one step at a time. Eventually...there will be a picket fence..

Wow will they love that. Boy mine sure do love foraging it’s such a hoot watching them walk along at 90 miles an hr looking close at the ground for bugs etc.
