Funny, now that you mention it....this one does not give me eggs...she steals them and eats them....I need to rething "that kind" of duck! LOL

Here is another picture of the inside. We just put in the chicken nesting boxes (yes they need to be painted - Everything does) But this shows you how big we made the duck nesting boxes. They do use them and use them a lot.

Is that shredded paper on the floor?

 

[tbitt]

I do have shredded paper mixed in with the shavings. I shred it at work (pull out all paperclips and staples ). I then take the used bedding and spread it around the trees as much.

tbitt, that is hilarious and UBER cute. I was going to say, "that duck looks suspiciously like my neighbor's Beagle dog....." HA!

Mine is currently being used as a chicken coop, but the residents are being booted when my ducklings are old enough to go out full time. It's an 8x8 shed also, and I love it for the chickens - super handy!

This is when we had it set up for temporary use; it now has hardware cloth sides:



We sequestered off 6' x 8' of it inside (you can see the nest boxes to the right - the pop door is directly across). This shed/coop made the light bulb go off for me that the eggs from this coop are NEVER muddy, even when it rains heavily. Why? Because the hens have to walk across the dry shavings from the outside in order to get to the nest boxes so their feet are dried by the time they hit the nest box:



Just thought this was a cute pic; that is Macey in the picture, she was the best dog I ever had the pleasure of sharing time with. I lost her a few years ago, and when she went, so did a piece of my heart. Anyway, she was always by my side, and was our project manager for this project:

Amiga, can you photo document your duck house as I think many northern Us duck keepers could benefit from your design.

Oh, okay. Sure.

Once I get the photo's collected and organized, are you thinking I post it as a discussion thread, or use some other format? Glad you think it may help.

I think so with those kind of results!
