[megamilez]

What kind of ducks do you have?

Wild mallards from my newfound duck knowledge.

For the floor, will these work fine?

Thats so nice what you are doing for them, what if they do decide to stay? Did you tell us how you got these ducklings?

Yes it was in my first thread when I joined the forum. I’m on my phone or I would like or copy paste the story

I don't see why not! They would be good insulation in the winter cold too!

As long as they can’t eat it. If covered with shaving it’s probably fine, look into stall mats. Are you the OP who stopped at night and rescued the two Mallards?

The only thing I’d be worried about is if they try and eat it as it’s foam. A harder foam but still foam.

I was thinking something like this ...

I think it’s going to be a pretty awesome coop.

It’s looking amazing so far! Are you putting hardware cloth on the windows or do you have glass/plexiglass for them?
