Kat’s Journey into Chicken Keeping

We spent three days building an enclosure for our ducks. The ones that loved to hang out at the neighbors pond. We had to bring them home because the neighbor is having a coyote problem and they were getting killed. :(

There are sixteen so we brought them home in groups of five and six in a dog crate.
This was necessary because we had to clip their flight feathers.
(I have no pictures of that process because Hubby had to hold them while I did the clipping.)

They are used to being free to roam wherever so I imagine being corralled will be an adjustment.

Oh, and we did build them a small pond!

Most recent picture of our Mama with her four Littles.
Sadly we just lost the solid white one to a hawk attack!
We didn’t see that coming, and we are devastated.
We finally got them secure from roaming stray dogs, and we were pretty happy with that. We weren’t expecting an aerial strike.
RIP Baby Girl 🙁😢
