No, I already have my land, and ducks, and fence, and an old coop, but my ducks weren't very happy with it (it was hard to get them into their coop at night), so I am going to make a new, nicer coop.
So what I need is: ventilation, food, water and nest boxes. How much land (I have 3 ducks and 1 drake) do they need if I let them out in the morning and put them back in at evening?
Sorry, my table was wrong. It was supposed to be this:

Pros
Cons

Ducks
Excellent layers - lay bigger eggs more often than chickens
Males must be separated

Chickens
Good layers
Males must be separated
2
Guineas
Monogamous - do not need sexing
Terrible layers
3
Geese...
The fly somewhat like chickens, so they can fly up your fence or onto a tree. Mine ocassionaly leave my farm, which I was wary of at first, but they only go like 100 metres away and they always come back, so I let them.
Hello there! I own some cute little ducks, and I want to change their coop to a nicer, more comfortable design for the ducks. How do I start (look, I can build it from scratch, so there are no limitations)?
OK, when I decided to keep poultry for egg production (and cuteness), I weighed the pros and cons of chickens, guineas, ducks, and geese. Here is what I got:
