Post a picture you took in the last week.

Of ice or snow? We should have had an extension last weekend but it was due too all of the snow not the ice. 2 feet of ice +2-4 feet of hard pack snow. Spent a lot of time kicking away snow with a boot or baby shovel. Checked several bait shops to try to buy an extension but couldn’t find one. Every place had their ice gear put away. I have a couple extensions for my gas and propane in the garage rafters but no electric that were with us.

I got the hen houses up. 6’ posts and just over 3’ of ice. I got some tan/brown outdoor carpet and wrapped the houses with it, I got sick of doing the straw so I’ll see how this works. They still have straw stuffed inside them.

Mallard hens are territorial. Best if only 1 nest per 5 acres.
Straw should not be used as it's way too light and blows out. Use upland fine stalked hay.
6' pipe is 95% of the time too short.
Find a well driller in your area and bring sawzall with. Buy a used 1" id well pipe which is 21' long. Cut it at 9.5' so also a 11.5' piece for deeper/softer bottom. Bottom of the nest should be a min of 3' up off the ice. This year after last years drought, 4 to 5' up. Remember it needs to be at least 2' up even after rainy season/floods.
That's my experience after doing them for 30+ yrs.
Good luck.

Last week, they still have antlers.

Today.
Switched out a rotting pine WDB with cedar, rerolled the MHN and lifted it up 2', added a PG under it.
This spot has consistently produced both Mallard and Woody nests since I put it up 8 yrs ago.
