Provide Adequate Run Space

Solution

Ensure the outdoor run provides at least 10-20 square feet per duck.

Explanation

Ducks need space to roam, forage, exercise, and preen. A larger run allows for more natural behavior and helps keep the area cleaner by distributing waste over a wider space.

Notes

Covering the run with netting or wire protects against aerial predators. Fencing should be secure at the base to prevent digging under.
