I have 8 ducks I'm raising for food and or eggs.
They are living in a big dog crate in my garage right now, but they are about a month old and the crate is getting small fast.
I need to build an outside pen for them, but I'm really not too sure how to go about building one.
How much room do 8 ducks need? I was thinking of more or less a box, maybe 6ftx6ft, couple 2x4s, few sheets of OSB. I don't think a chicken wire cage would be best cause it doesn't get all that warm here, 40s-50s at night, might touch 70s on a really nice day but not common.
Thinking to put an electric heater in there, keep it at 65-70*
Ideas?
I have been searching on google, but haven't found much info.
