New question... my 1st set (3 cayugas & 1 ancona) are 10 weeks and my 2nd set (4 anconas) are 7 weeks. They have been living in separate pens side by side in garage for a couple weeks now. I want to make a single pen for them to keep together (hopefully for outside). What dimensions would you make?

For just right now- or for forever?

I'm a little worried about Sebbie #2. She is doing that labored breathing thing. Not super bad.. but a little.

She drank a couple drops of water.. I was thinking about giving her some nutridrench. Thoughts?

Probably for 2-4 weeks? Not sure... just know I need to move my 3rd set of ducks (6 anconas & 1 silver apple) that are 3 weeks old to the garage. I could build a 3rd pen for just them to put in garage with the other 2 sets instead??

Can you post a pic of sebbie #2??

Leave her alone for now.

Utah: My camera isn't working. Says I need to Format the card... but this is the card I've always used. I'm not sure what's going on. I'll snap one with my phone it's just not going to be good.

I think I'm leaning toward Metzer. I guess it is his best quality breed and I can time delivery to arrive the same day my grey dewlaps hatch.

OK, QJ on the pic, but do not open bator!! Don't want to stress the poor thing too much.
