walshie 2,804 Posted January 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 Just seen the price of ready-made floating duck houses. I'll have to have a go at making one. It's not rocket surgery. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The one 8,538 Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 Can't see wild ducks going into a duck house ,build them a nest site instead stick a pole in two foot or so above the water and a two foot long circle of wire then put straw in it , more chance of them sticking about if there's food and shelter or somewhere to breed 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ideation 8,216 Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 Easiest thing is just a floating pallet or two, the shit can fall through and the ducks can float about safe. Make some spiral tube feeders for them, we used them a lot on the shoot and the worked well. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
