I'm thinking about getting some call ducks this Spring (I think chickens were my gateway drug!). Can I run my idea for a set-up by you...
My chickens forage/free-range in a fenced in back yard (about 1/4 of a acre is fenced in, I'm guessing). We have one of those decorative pools (about 3 feet at the longest and across maybe 1.5 feet and it's about 1 foot deep). Would that be sufficient for a trio of call ducks? It has a fountain thing to keep the water running - would that need/should it be on? Any other adjustments we'd need to make for them?
I have an extra large dog igloo kennel (the plastic type). If a door is fitted to the front of it, would that make an ok coop for them?
I would want to fence them off from my chickens - how much run space should I give them?
Any other things I should be thinking about with this set-up?
Thanks!
