it is very temporary but i got a day pen up next to the house.
thank you all for the brain storming
i got two old dog excersize pens
one is taller then the other 42" and 36" respectively
i arranged the pens so that they are about 8 feet long and 4 feet wide
with the higher side to the back of the house
then zip tied heavy lattice panels over so it slopes
then i clothespin-ed really heavy black plastic for a roof
and partly for some sides
added a pallet for a floor with plywood
and then dried leaves for bedding
i have the ducks in there
they love it
i love it
it's right by the house so no worry about falling
now
i am going to attempt to reproduce it in wood with the roof hinged to enable easy cleaning, as well as a 'side door' for the poultry to enter.
it will also be a lot longer eventually
and elevated about 4"-6" with a solid floor
as well as a seperate smaller area for my drake....
again thank you all so much
i put the temporary run together in the midst of that bad storm we had the other day in pennsylvania
and it did ok!
again i am so grateful
