Hi :wave: Carmarthenshire TAS.  Not my area, but have a look on flea bay there is someone giving up farming and lots of useful stuff for sale.  Wish I were nearer ::) .

You could make a bridge :innocent: , a ramp and a pulley attached so it can be pulled up the ramp, then another the other side where it could slide down......although I could be tricky.....you can make a ramp from planks and build it up to the correct height with something strong enough........ :thinking: :thinking:   No, on second thoughts, several strong young farmers would be much better :wave:

Don't want to be a party pooper, but whats wrong with Castle Farms suggestion?


I would always site any house outside the run as it makes it easier to get to for egg collection and cleaning, and saves treading in any poo just to collect a few eggs, and in my experience ducks are pretty regular pooers. 

Is the house not fox proof?

DBE, OH had thought of this too. It was me who wanted the house inside the run. The 5 ducks share the area with 2 geese. Its about 35m x 21m with a big pond so they have plenty of space.
If I had it outside the run it would be in the sheep field which I didn't really want.
 
Doh....Just thought there is a small area on one of the sides that doesn't go into the field that might suit me and the ducks.  ;D
Yep, the new house will definitely be fox proof  :thumbsup:

Sounds like a lovely house, too good for those ducks leave it where it is it'll make a great cup holder/table, I bet they wouldn't appreciate it.
Did they say thank you for fetching it ?
Tease them leave it outside so they can look at it in envy  :roflanim:
