Feel Free to Duck-in to the Maine Duck Inn!
In the depths of winter 2017, as blizzards howled outside our home on the coast of Maine, we responded to a Craigslist ad posted by Full Fork Farm in China, Maine.

Dog Kennel into Duck house?
Hello! I’ve been trying to find something that I could use for a duck house that would also be moveable and I was thinking this Dog carrier. It is huge and would surely be enough room for the two ducks. My idea was to cover all the open wire and holes on the crate with hardwire cloth, install a...- April and Andy

Up cycled dog kennel to duck house
Here are a few pictures showing how I turned an old dog kennel I payed £20 for 8 years ago and gave it a new life. The wood used was 2”x2” and some ply wood for the roof.
