    Winter Duck Shelter (Help identifying issues with design/plan?)

    I am working on a plan to repurpose my ducks' stock tank pond to transform it into a winter den and could use some insight from others who may have more experience than me or can think of any foreseeable issues this design may have. To sum up, I was going to line the inside of the stock tank...

    Chickens standing in the rain

    Hello! My chickens have access to shelter from the rain, but even when it’s pouring they will just stand in the downpour looking miserable. A little rain is fine, but I’m in Florida and the rainy season has only just begun. The other day I had to run out and physically put them in the coops...

    Duck Coop

    I know this isn’t technically about chickens, but I’d assume a lot of you are familiar with ducks. I’ve got 3 very small adult mallards, and thinking of getting a fourth. They’re free roam but I’d like to make a closed shelter to keep them in at night as I have seen just about every predator...

    Calling all free rangers!! Severe thunderstorm!!

    Most of this post will be directed to others that choose to free range, as I'm assuming birds in the coop are safe from this sort of thing. I know there are multiple risks associated with free ranging, and this is just one of the many, but letting my girls roam for the day is what makes me...
