I plan on making a 3 sided structure with a roof for their coop.

 

 

Do they need nesting boxes?



 Some of mine like nesting boxes some of the other just lay in the shavings, are you getting runners or muscovies?

Miss Lydia, I'm getting "300" ducks. They are supposed to be the "leghorns" of the duck world. She says they lay daily like clock work. I'm getting 3 from her but leaving room for 2 for "impluse" purchases. I might end up with a Muscovy.....I've heard they are quieter.

Oh I see lol I was confused when you said Beth had 300 ducks, but you meant the hybrid 300, I have heard good things about them. Yes you need a Muscovy for a pet.
