duck coop plans

Hi interested in owning ducks for a first time and need advice. First full disclaimer, I have no intention of getting this done immediately. I have more than a month at least before I start these plans upon which I’ll be thinking more on whether I really want ducks, as per the wiki’s advice. I...

Hello everyone, Devestating news. This last week, my two babies April and Andy were attacked by an eagle while I was changing their hay in their hutch. I am absolutley devestated and reeling from this loss. My partner and I have talked it over, and we are just duck owners at heart. So, next...

Hey there, everyone! So, here's a bit of background... I've always wanted ducks... For as long as I can remember. After a few failed incubations, I decided I'd just get some ducklings and raise em' rather than hatch my own. We bought three straight run Cayuga ducklings on June 27th! I finally...

My ducklings are 1 month old and i’m using straw as their bedding. Will I have to rake out the straw bedding or will the straw compost. And how long does it take for straw to compost? Do I just get ADDING some straw over the poops every couple days? This is what the coop looks like

Hello! I am seeking inspiration for duck coops. Layout, design, functionality, etc. If you have pictures to share, that would be great! I am curious to know how others keep their ducks. I live in NY and experience moderately cold winters & warm summers. I currently use an old walk in...

I am wanting to build my own duck coop/duck run for my 4 ducks. I want it to be large enough that they'll be comfortable if they are locked in it all day. I also am building a run in that'll be like a dog house so I can lock them in at night. What demensions should I make the whole cage? 8x8'...

Hey there! I'm new here. My very first batch of ducklings are supposed to arrive in 2 weeks, and although I have plenty of time to get things figured out before they move outdoors, I just want to be prepared. I am hoping to be able to let them free range during the day and have them come back in...
