First off, I put a good layer of bark in chicken coop. I left it out from under the coop cause they like bathe there. Now my duck pen is 6 1/2' x 9'. Their house sits outside the pen so they can have the entire pen space. They keep this area pretty muddy and of course, all the rain we've been...

So our Rouens will be 5 weeks old tomorrow. We finally moved them to their pen friday. I think I went out once every hour to make sure they were doin ok.

I have another question for y'all please. We have one of those galvanized little giant waterer for our ducks. It really only puts out enough water for them to drink but not enough for them to get their bills wet. Can anyone here recommend a better waterer that puts out enough water for them to...

So my 3 Ruoen ducklings are almost a month old. I finally finished their pen and let them out to play today. They had a blast being out of the brooder and eating grass and such. Weather permitting, I'm going to keep taking them out during the day to get use to the pen and their pen feeder. We...
