In my experience with predators in my area in TN is they don’t care unless it’s easy. I’ve had ducks guineas and rabbits killed because they got out at night. i’ve dug down with hardware cloth before but never seen any digging and we have raccoons and foxes.

@@user-zy4qj4vv4k I tried the water heaters in the pool but the pool is too big so I ended up closing the pool by draining it and putting plywood on top. I purchased a heated water bowl that they use to drink. I fill it daily from a winter spicket on the side of my house. I'm lucky because they don't need water to bath because there is a spot in our pond where the water comes in, that doesn't freeze so they can still bath daily

Fantastic video. Got so really good ideas from it. In regards to the wooden frame work, have you dug your posts into the ground or are they just “Sat” on top of the ground? And what size lumbers did you use? Thankyou from 🇬🇧
@joyr3236 4 ай бұрын
The only posts that are dug into the ground are the 2- 4x4 posts in the center. I didn't use cement, just dug it in a bit. The reason I didn't set any posts in cement is because I didn't want zoning to consider it a permanent structure. The rest of the posts are 2x4 which is attached to a 2x4 frame that lays on top of the ground.

With the wire all underneath the run area, you risk pieces rusting, then breaking, and a pieces sticking up like nails, which could injure the ducks.
@joyr3236 Жыл бұрын
Good point. I hadn't thought of that. We should be okay because there's enough dirt and grass on top of the fencing but that is something for people to think about if they're just going to put the wire down and not cover it good enough. Thanks for pointing that out.

Hi Jackie, I ended up closing their pool once temperatures dropped below freezing during the day. I couldn't keep their drinking water from freezing without electricity so I used a large heated dog drinking bowl. There is a little spot on our pond that doesn't freeze so they were able to bath there daily when free ranging. Here is a video of the adjustments kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aduKgMh9193XiYU.html

I watched your other video a while ago and watched them both again tonight. I am so glad you came up with the ideas you have for the winter as it seemed to me that you were pretty worried about how the winter was going workout. Do you still have the same amount of ducks? Are you going to get more in the future?? Just one thing where your electrical cord goes through the fence could you put a bit of tin to block off sight to the open door. This is just a thought from prying preditor eyes..
@joyr3236 2 жыл бұрын
Yes I do wrap the area where the cord comes in with tin tape. I only have 6 ducks, which is a nice number. Plenty of eggs for my family and friends. I don't want anymore ducks because their pool will get too dirty and I don't want them to get sick drinking the water. With 6 ducks, I can get away with draining & refilling every other day.

Blow water lines out with air. To keep them from freezing
@joyr3236 2 жыл бұрын
Yes, I rigged a bicycle pump by attaching a hose end to it so I can screw it onto the hose and I pump the air out. I do that in the beginning of the season when it still stays above freezing during the day. Once it gets below freezing during the day, I close up their pool and the hose all together

A very nice set up. As long as ducks have a bucket, or something similar during winter, that is enough water for them as long as they can get their whole head under water. Just drain the pool and close it off, put the duck into the coop at night for a while, and they soon learn that this is their sleeping room. And add a bowl of grit for them permanently, they don't get enough just in their run.

This is the most well thought out design for ducks I have ever found! Great ideas! I have many ducks, and safety is surely an issue!! My ducks are mixed in with chickens, geese and Muscovies. Quite a challenge! I do find it is wise and practical to have some space for isolation - Incase there’s an injury, broodiness, etc.,…the occasional scrape or what have you - I have pet kennels on hand for that.

Me too. One of my ducks had bumblefoot so I had to keep it clean after the vet opened it. I put a large dog kennel in the pen and put down doggie pads so I could treat her foot and keep it clean. Since she was still, sort of, with the other ducks, she didn't mind.

I thought about that but it looks like it would be harder on their feet. The roof shingles usually work but they can get slippery when it's starts to get below freezing so maybe the wood slats would be better. Thanks!

Beautiful! Structurally sound to the max! Do you use the drained water for plants? Do you clean out the floor for fertiliser?
@joyr3236 2 жыл бұрын
Their pool water would be great to use to fertilize my garden. This summer I plan to set it up so I can use it easily. I'm not sure what you mean by cleaning out the floor. The pen floor gets hosed daily so that dissolves through the turf and into the gravel then into the ground. Their coop has straw and they only go in there to lay eggs so I rake it out every 2 weeks.

Your ducks must love their posh accommodations! In my experience, 4-5 years of sun will make the corrugated plastic roof brittle. I had two different roof heights, and a raccoon actually fell off the higher roof through the plastic of the lower roof, effectively landing him in the midst of my hens, who were then decimated….

Your duck yard is very nice. I like the way you built the house. I live in the Pacific NW. And even with my duck yard being covered and secure. I always put the girls in the duck house at night. The astroturf is a good idea but I am still working on the water supply issues so my run is pretty muddy. Your video gave me some good ideas. Thanks for making it.
