Oh, it's not the two Pekins that are any issue at this point. It's the 11 little WH ducklings. They are such a huge sloppy mess in the chicken coop that we're now overrun with flies.

Well the duck hut is together to the point that I don't worry much about the ducks inside. I still have to finish the green roof though and to trim it out. But, I've moved onto the run panels. I've got 8 panels framed and ready for paint. All of which are 39" tall and 8'-3" long. They'll be...

galgo98; sounds like you've got everything under control then.. And some good cheap sources for stuff. Will be looking forward to seeing how your roof turns out.

Quote: I would not put that much $ to it for EPDM. I picked up a sheet of UV stabilized PVC liner on eBay dirt cheap. Here's what I figure... It's for a green roof, so I don't have to worry about UV exposure anyway. There's no traffic, so no need to go 40mil thick. Helps to keep costs down...

Quote: Both the left and right roof sections are going to be hinged and allow them to be raised up to allow access to the inside. The inside of the hut will have a fairly thick later of pine shavings in it. Since the ducks don't spend anywhere near the amount of time in the coop that the...

Got more done a bit ago and forgot to post. Finally hollered nuff and kicked the Pekins outside. They were making an ungodly mess... And I mean it.. I've got duck slop 4' up the wall they were beside. Eesh! Well, here's what's new! The run is a temp one that we used. I've still got to trim...

Well, in spite of the rain I got some more done. Ended up finishing my incubator after breakfast and then went outside to work on the duck house some more. But then it started raining on my parade again. Here's what I've got so far. To simplify life I decided to simple nail down the sheet...

Picked up some 3/8th" play for siding the duck hut today. Heck of a thing bringing it home. Ended up having it ripped down to 3' in width to get it to fit in the car and it just barely did that. SO need to get the truck down here with me, but I digress. So now I've got two wall sections put on...

This blasted rain is washing my parade away. I wish it'd let up so that I can get more done on this goofy duck hut. Think I'll bring in some lumber and work on the run panels.

This is a high res shot of the wood shed if you're interested. I don't have any pictures of the "planting box" that rests on top of the roof deck, but you can see how it's set up. http://pics.fuzzywolf.com/IMG_5986b.JPG

Quote: The membrane is 20 mil PVC "pond liner". Supposedly UV stabilized but I would not trust it without putting rocks over it to block the sun. That went down on the roof deck itself. Over that went a 2x6 planting box that slips over the roof itself and slides down over it by 2". Then a...

Some folks in the duck forum had wanted to see more pictures of the duck hut I'm building so I thought that I would start a work log for it. You don't see many duck coops in searching, so another one wouldn't hurt. Here's two of the reasons why we're working on this now. But the main reason is...
