We will use electric netting fence (purchased from Premier 1 Supplies) to give them space to range during the day and lock them in the little house each night to keep them safe. Because they have webbed feet they don't scratch like chickens, so wouldn't do as much damage, but they like tender green things to eat! <br /><br />They are supposed to have more personality than chickens and be hardier, too. We've had laying chickens a few times before, but never got them so young!<br /><br />We'll see! It's an experiment! These are supposed to be a good all purpose breed, very good layers and pretty good for meat. I highly recommend David Holderread's book "Storey's Guide to Raising Ducks".Dunbar Creek Mercantilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10557481566241353182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6879928000257821854.post-45109180559401642852011-06-09T12:38:10.760-05:002011-06-09T12:38:10.760-05:00too adorable!!
