sdkidaho Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Just wondering if any of you put out hen houses at all. I was out scouting last weekend for turkeys and noticed a pair of woodducks. We don't see too many of those around here and I thought maybe I'd build some nesting boxes for them and put them out. It's probably too late for this season as I think they are already nesting, but the boxes would be there for next season. Seemed like it might be a worthwhile endeavour, that and it gives me an excuse to be out in the woods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liberty or death Jr. Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 I don't do it. But would like to, just never got around to it. I saw very few wooducks this fall but we were fishing at the river today and I saw dozens of pairs flying around. Watched a female swim around feeding. Definately worth it, I hope to get to it next year. I also noticed a lot of goose nest down there, they have some HUGE eggs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liberty or death Jr. Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Here is a site for building mallard nests. http://www.deltawaterfowl.org/ddp/henhouses/build.php And if you are really rolling in doe, and feeling really generous. Here are some you can buy. http://www.dakotanesting.com/ I only say that because the price is quite a lot for a nesting box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
