the duck pen renovation
Some of the pen will have the stockade fencing, but I wanted them to see out, so I’m going to encase the pen in poultry wire and the heavier kind with the smaller holes. There will be two layers of wire over the entire pen. The pond is two level, which I really love, because there is no problem getting in and out or being stuck in the deep end. I’m adding a water filter too (any suggestions for brand?). The last picture shows the area in the front where the water fall and pond will be.

Our new chickens and the Jersey giants
My rooster Jim and his hen Janet have been moved to a pen with our new hens. Jim seems to be OK with living with 9 more hens. This is his first year in charge of this many hens, so far he is doing a good job. The other pen is my Jersey giants they have been set up in a pen so the hens will not mix with the other roosters. The birds are in moveable chicken condos/tractors. And will be moved across the grass each day so they get new grass all the time.
