Hen House Success!
While making his usual rounds, Delta’s Matt Chouinard came across a Delta Hen House in the early stages of hatching a clutch of mallards. Learn what unfolds in the final hours leading up to another Delta duck production success.
We have a duck club in the yolo bypass(California)and want to install some mallard nesting cages. We’ve heard that over heating can be a problem. Has Delta addressed this issue?
Delta’s Hen House design has a large opening on either end of the tunnel and the flax or grass around the exterior is somewhat porous. This ventilation helps prevent excess heat build-up in Hen Houses. We’ve found no evidence of hens or eggs overheating in Hen Houses.
