runner and silkie together? proper brooder? HELP

[stumble_n_mumble]

hey guys i have a silkie and a runner together and i have gone up the the biggest cage i have for both of them and they still dont have as much room as i like plus the runner is so tall shes gonna hit her head lol. so my questions is.... what brooders do you have for the runners that are big and tall. thanks for any help.

I don't have that breed, but is it possible just to make a tall brooder out of a box or tote? I think that is what I would do... but I am new to this, so hopefully someone who has been there will respond to the post!

You could always use a large storage bin! I got mine at Wal-Mart, and as long as the two of them aren't going to escape or there aren't animals that are going to harm them, you can leave it without a top so the runner duck won't hit her head on anything. I personally have one that's about 4' long and 2' wide, and it's served me well.

Runners are pretty tall, I don't think a storage tub would work. I don't know what a flexy dog whelping pen is, but I was thinking a large dog crate.
