Hi gang!  I have another question about my waterbabies.  Is anyone familar with glencroft poultry?  They have a great site, but are located in the UK.  I'm looking for someone in the US that perhaps imports from them or maybe builds floating houses like theirs.  Or does anyone have any suggestions for houses that could be floated out on the pond for 6 ducks and 4 geese?  Right now the "kids" are going to be moved off the pond and into the barn once the weather gets cooler.  We have been having weather in the 80's lately so they continue to be out and about.  I would like to have some sort of classy looking house for them come spring.  Thanks so much and I hope everyone is making winter preparations.  The snow will be here before we know it.
Thanks again,
Melissa

Hi Melissa, I checked out the Glencroft site and what an adorable floating house.  Looks similar to a regular bird house but on a large scale.  Have you tried looking online for birdhouse blueprints.  I would think some of the craft sights mights have plans for building a bird house and then you could just nail it to a plank to float on water.  Sorry but I do not know of any sites in the US that make a floating house similar to the one from Glencroft.
If I come across anything similar, I will post it and let you know.  Good luck...seems like a really cool idea for ducks.  Michelle

Here is a link to a site that has dimensions for building one yourself.  You might want to check it out.

I also saw one for sale on Ebay but again it was from the UK.  Shipping was not too bad...I believe it was only $10.  They seem to be the only ones producing these floating nests.  You could also inquire at a Feed and Seed place where they sometimes sell poultry and poultry food.  They may be able to help you find someone locally that sells them or at least someone in this country.  Let me know how you make out!  Michelle
