ORNAMENTAL DUCKS AT MOONRIDGE FARM

  

Here at Moon Ridge we keep our ornamental ducks in small breeding groups in the two main enclosures , totaling five acres . They have total freedom within these protected areas to many ponds , both large and small . The ponds are fed by our own spring water and the birds are able to find their own territory in the habitat we have created . The pen encloses mature trees and newly planted shrubs , trees and fruit trees as well as a natural hegdeline . We provide plenty of man made and natural materials for nesting .
