My ducks and chickens needed an outdoor pen adjacent to the chicken room where they could go out to play. Some of my chickens in the chicken room have never been outdoors on fresh dirt. We finally built them an enclosure where they can safely play outside and dig in the dirt. The 12 ft. long pen will have a roof and door. We couldn't resist the opportunity to put the ducks in the partially completed pen where they could get out of the rabbit cage they've lived in for the last week. Well, the ducks were real happy to get into a pan of water where they can party down. We watched them jump in and out and preen their feathers. I'm hoping their tiny wings won't allow them to jump the five foot fence. Don't think so, because Jemina Puddleduck couldn't fly without getting a long, running start and she was a full grown duck.
