Thanks for the help everyone! :D

I’ll make a new one :)

Ok I have a lot of adjustments to make. Mines way thinner and steeper! :oops:

How wide should the ramp be?

Ok, I’ll have to make one!

What a pretty pic! My coop is about a foot/two feet off the ground.

Also how steep can the ramp be for ducks to go into the coop? Can someone post a pic of their ramp/an ideal ramp off the internet?

I have plywood screwed to the bottom of my fairly tall coop. They’ll have a windbreak. Yeah me either!

I don’t plan on using the nipple waterer for the ducks. They will be able to dunk their face with the one I have in mind. Won’t they get coated in ice in the winter?

It got down to 1.2 degrees F the other day! Brrrr. That’s why I’m concerned. The nipples are screwed into a heated bucket and don’t usually freeze. What about wet feather? I read they should always have access to water that they can get fully wet in.

Thank you! Yes, I didn’t specify but I do plan to start with layer when they are laying. I also plan to use brewers yeast. I have a dog and bought the wrong kind of food accidentally. I use it as protein for my chickens during the winter. Would that be a good protein source for ducks?

How do I keep the water out of the ducks reach but within the chickens reach? Aren’t ducks pretty tall? I use a bucket with nipples in it all year around. Wouldn’t that be difficult or impossible for the ducks to drink out of? I plan to use a completely different waterer for my ducks. Also what...

Ok, thanks so much!

What breed do you have? I’m getting blue Swedish. I know someone who keeps ducks and chickens together. Would it be better if the ducks were raised in the flock from ducklings? That’s what I’m planning on.

Any specific reasons why? I’m thinking about doing a covered run to protect them from hawks/other predators so they won’t be with the chickens.

Can ducks eat hen layer? That’s what I plan to feed my ducks when I get them come spring. Also any thoughts on ducks and chickens living together? I also have a rooster.
