Bad duck

Nothing like hearing quacking under your window to get you moving. Especially when your window opens out to the dog pen!

No, there should not be a duck in the dog oen. At least not if it wants to stay intact. Lucky for the duck, the dogs had not been let out yet.

A few minutes of outsmarting a duck and success! Here’s a picture of the culprit…who has now been chicken wire fenced out of her secret fit through spot. Bad duck!

New duck house in use

My newest designed duck house is a hit. Made with cattle panels, t posts, hardware cloth, a tarp, pipe insulation, and a door/frame built from wood. Low cost and predator resistant! The only issue I have is I didn’t take the old rabbit hutch I was given out before I built the door…and it’s too wide to go out. Oops. I’m leaving it in there in case any of the hens want to use it to lay eggs, I have had some success with that in the past. It’s also a visual barrier if I start having squabbles.

Pig anti tip progress

Still working on keeping this guy from dehydrating himself. Bucket is now clipped onto the ring …although he’s already chewed the clip open once!

But look at this face…how can anyone get mad at it?!?!?! He’s lucky he’s cute!
