1st building duck coop- ventilation concerns

[Loventheseducks]

Hi! We just bought a chicken coop we are turning into a duck house for our ducks. My concern is there doesn’t seem to be any ventilation. We’re drilling holes near the roof- but is that enough? Help.

I don’t have ducks, but they need as much overhead ventilation as chicken coops. You need a lot more overhead air flow. A lot more.

Hopefully, someone with duck experience can answer also. I know ducks are kept on the ground, so how to ventilate down low is another question.

Cut in some windows they need much more air than just at the top.
