can you post a pic of your pen? I kinda need ideas.... Right now mine are in a type of outdoor dog cage.

I will try to get to that this week sometime - been crazy around here... lots of memorial services, funerals, etc. for all our firemen, several of which we were acquainted with, one who we were close to.

So I have discovered a new problem. My drake that was introduced to my females yesterday, has found it absolutely necessary to guard "his" pool. The only way for my females, and chickens, to get a drink is to agree to a mating session. He has even tried this with my chickens. No drink unless you mate. The females cant even get close to the pool without being dragged in and mated. I know they have to mate....and it might just be the protective momma in me but I am afraid my girls aint gonna be able to drink and play in their pool like they should cause that mean ol' boy is always trying to mate. 

Don't let him touch them! His ! Would do damage!

He didnt actually get them but he was trying. We have fixed the problem tho and added a water bowl so all is harmonious again.
