Building new coops tommarow!

[DUCKGIRL89]

Today I built a really small coop for my newly laying female rouen, and im going out tommarow to build another one. Its really small and can only fit three ducks so I will need 4 coops for my 11 ducks. Does anyone know if a duck will brood her own eggs infront of other ducks? Thanks!

Mines not very fancey like that. But it was free! No cost at all, all made from scrap wood. I will put a pic up in a bit.

Most of the materials were free but the sideing is what costed the most. We only got it so it would match the other coop.
