Call duck pen ideas!

[FunnyfarmMidwest]

My call ducklings will come either the coming this Wednesday or next Monday! I have other ducks but have never had calls. I am thinking it would be a bad idea to house them with my free range Jumbo Pekins; therefore, I am looking to build them a house. Because of Corona I am unable to go buy a coop, but would like to build them something with all the time spent at home. Does anybody have coop ideas for 6 call ducks? I’m looking to build them something nice that would hold up through winter and not break my bank ．Any ideas appreciated. I would love to see examples of everyone’s coops!

I house my "adult" calls with..well all the birds in my signature besides the geese. I have no problems at all, If you have a good male to female ratio along with a big coop you should have no problems, but if you'd like to be safe something like this might work for six calls. Maybe a bit bigger and lower to the ground for easier access.

That's not my house, by the way, If you look up duck house ideas you will find many more coop ideas. What kind of calls are coming?

Thank you! I’ve ordered assorted! They could be blue or black bibbed, white, pastel, grey, penciled, or snowy! I’m having a hard time keeping occupied until they come! I think building the coop will be a good pastime.

Nice picks! Are you getting them for Purley poultry? We will need pictures when they come!

If you can get some (5-6) pallets they might work as long as you've got a piece of plywood for the top and bottom. Take some scrap wood to fill in the spaces between the pallet boards. I wouldn't have the ducks be directly on the ground but a pallet is a good hight for them to get into with a ramp. It wouldn't be too steep.
