Since I have a one large male Pekin duck that poops 100 times a day I clean out his house daily. He also has a small coop a 3ft by 4ft dog house so after just a few hours in there he makes it quite yucky.- jennasips

Should I put a heater in my duck house?
I recently purchased an insulated dog house for my one male Pekin duck and I’m worried that it isn’t keeping him warm enough. The dog house is from the company Dog Palace and they offer an extra feature of a heater that would be safe for my use. I worry about not leaving him water at night but...
