Sheri that is my Morgan mare as well in the 2nd photo, not a QH. ;o)

As for nesting I have box stalls for my geese pairs. I put a large mound of straw in the corner (I'll post a pic). Sebastopols love peace and serenity when nesting so the individual box stalls are ideal for what they like. Most birds like some privacy and don't like other birds tromping all over them while nesting.
With my Muscovies I have wooden boxes in ntheir shed that I put pine shaving or straw in.
What kind of waterfowl do you have?

My geese and ducks get 2 parts Purina grower pellets to 1 part whole oats.
I also give them apples and greens as well but not daily. More like a treat.
Waterfowl shouldn't be fed alot of corn...only a little during the cold months of winter since in can cause fertility problems.

Its been very cold here but its been worse in winters past. The birds are all fine and still go in their bathing pools and tubs but they tend to want to hang out inside more these days.
