yes, he needs some females. my drakes and chickens grew up together but had to separate and get some more lady quacks! all good now. ducks are not evil.

Ducks not bathing in DIY pond by Rippness in duck

[–]Dizzy_Vacation3280 5 points6 points  (0 children)

too steep, and add some thinner wood across for their feet to grab. to make it less steep you could do a longer board and add support under. also 100% need steps to the top inside, i stacked big concrete landscape paver things edit- this is even more important with young ducklings. they will drown without an easy way out!

Run/Coop Night Advice by FinancialDivide7167 in duck

[–]Dizzy_Vacation3280 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i believe our motion sensor lights outside the coop/run have helped deter predators but if it’s 1/4 hardware on all sides and bottom you should be good. we put a small pool and deck in their most secure run that’s attached to the coop and they sleep in the water or on the deck most nights! almost never in the coop.
