Hi, Just wanted to add my two cents..
I have a Crested Cayuga, he started limping just like what you are describing. My Vet told me exactly what Isaac said, gave me some pain meds just in case and sent me on my way. the limping only lasted about 5-7 days and went away on its own. She also said...
Yeah! I was thinking about a solution for that actually! I just dont want to get something that might hurt their little webbed feet.. What do you think of those Stick-on non-slip pads for furniture? we have some of those laying around..
Not the best craftsmanship I know.. 😅 but it is at least structurally sound and sturdy. I have a vent hole at each end as well as the giant window and door.
I don't take any offense at all! I'm glad to hear any thoughts you all have! This is my first time keeping ducks so any questions comments concerns or criticism is completely welcome 🙂
I have a 10x20ft canopy on its way thats going to cover both the coop and run for that exact reason and for shade. I plan to strap it to the run and reinforce the legs for added stability
Thanks for the heads up! I do currently have chicken wire on all of the openings on the coop(plan to upgrade to hardware cloth asap!). The window does slid open for added ventilation and it's also not air tight when close so it'll hopefully help in the winter as well.
