~ Hi Jessica,  I am also interested in raising ducks.  I'd like to get eggs from you, or perhaps ducklings?

Sincerely,  Jamie Jedinak

Just curious if there is anyone else that works with ducks at all? We just started our flock this fall and have a handful of Welsh Harlequins that we're hoping to breed.

We're flying the coop and heading south!  I've disbanded my coop and have a few things to offer this group.....let me know if you're interested!  

1) A wooden crate with wire around it that I use as a mobile chicken tractor.  Ideal for 2 - 3 chickens....we used this system for years and works great.  Free!  U-haul, I'll help load.  P1010087.JPG

2) Excess chicken wire from our pen.....small pieces, long pieces, varying gauges....good for patching holes, or doing small projects.  Free!

3) Our VERY sturdy coop with perch.  Totally secure, fits 2 - 5 chickens. It'll be hosed out and sprayed with vinegar as a disinfectant tomorrow....it's been kept pretty clean though and my chickens never had any issues with any nasties.  U-haul, I'll help load.  $10.  P1010088.JPG

Thanks Angela!  Several wonderful TW folks have stepped forward to help with this project.  I'll talk it over with my bro to see how he'd like to move forward!

Jean, I'm not an expert but I just upgraded our chicken coop to a larger space. I did a lot of research on sizes of things like nesting boxes and optimal height for roosts etc. We bought an empty mini-barn and I've been installing everything. I spend a lot of time observing our chickens to learn from them what works. If you want to come look at our set up let me know.
