Well this summer we had to redo the chicken/duck coop. We had quite the incident with our male duck and one of our chickens. If you remember I posted about it all last June 17, 2020. I forgot to post some pictures of what we did. My dad is so amazing and he loves us, that he will do just about anything for me/us 🙂 I get a lot of hair brained ideas and he just makes it happen for me. When he learned about what had happened to the poor little chicken and I told him I need to separate them asap this guy went home and made the ducks their very own house. I had told him I would come and help him when he had time and literally the next day he was at my house with a brand new duck house.
He just used plywood for the house and roof. Then he used a black comp for the roof material. He made a little door that goes up and down so we can lock them up at night. Then he stuck around to help us run fencing in between the chickens and ducks. We used a tall no climb fencing which is working out great. We had stopped at the local habitat restore and purchased a metal door so we could still access each side from the inside.
This has worked out perfectly and our little chicken is all protected from the aggressive male duck. We have learned through all of this that chickens and ducks don’t mix well.
What is a fun project you did over the summer of 2020 that helped solve a problem you had around your home? I’m hoping this summer goes a lot smoother… Can’t wait for the sunshine!
Hoping for an early spring xoxox
