Lewis Posted March 28, 2010 Author Share Posted March 28, 2010 Looking good , what are you going to be keeping in there? At the moment the ducks are in it, but the 2 banties will be moving in there in the next week ... and I'm hatching some more chicks that'll go in there when they're old enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Margaret Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Its fantastic not jealous at all May I ask were did you get the plastic kick board's from as want to copy the idea, as I have a damp bit of floor when it pours with rain and think that may help . + Peckingham Palace Lavender Mable Marjorie Violet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're from B&Q, they were £7 each (should have been £11) and got 4 sheets, still have some left over. Really asy to cut with a stanley knife and then screw straight into the wood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atsw Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Brilliant WIR . I bet you're pleased as punch that it's come along so well. You'll be surprised how much water the roof collects, so don't hang about with gutters. If you allow water to fall off the back edge for too long the drips (torrent in heavy rain) will start to create holes in the soil and the muck splashes up all over the lower woodwork making the WIR look really messy. Love the ducks . Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legend21 Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 What gorgeous little ducks how fab, do they have a little pond? The two chicks are fab as well Jackie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted March 31, 2010 Author Share Posted March 31, 2010 The ducks have 2 big tub trugs that they used to love ... but have now discovered the 'real' fish pond Father wasn't too happy at first because the water is now all dirty and green, but they're so funny when they're on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tutti Frutti Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Love the run! Love the chooks! REALLY love the ducks!!! Are they noisy Lewis? I wish I could have some but I remember how loud their Mexican wave of quacking was as the Reading Bantam Show! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I could have some but I remember how loud their Mexican wave of quacking was as the Reading Bantam Show! Umm .... just a little bit Jemima shouts all the time if she can't see Gerald, or if she sees one of us going up to the run with treats - louder than the chickens have ever been. Gerald is really quiet though, a bit of a raspy quack The neighbours say they can hear her, but thankfully like it *phew* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
