The ducks were the ones that stayed in the doghouse. The chickens were in their coop, and yes - they had perches. My silkies use the floor though :)

OMG! Thank you for this! We just filled our duck pond cuz i hated bailing it, but for our kio pond that needs to be drained every so often, this is excellent! I actually resorted to sucking on the end of the hose till water came (yea.. don't ask) I had no idea you could get it to drain this way...
