It is in pieces since it had to be taken apart to put in the truck. I am leaving it like that so that I can clean it. This is the one I got, the pic is from a google search.

I have until probably the middle of April to get it done. Well, thats when the ducklings should be here so I have a little longer to get it all ready.

Here is my plan. Secure it to pallets that has a plywood base fixed to it. Add hw cloth, either plywood or a thick plastic (like plexiglass) to the windows, but make it so that it can be open for the warmer months, leave enough ventilation, add a nest area. I might add a roost since I am getting muscovys and they like to roost.

So, my run area is cattle panel and I am hoping the ducks and chickens can coexist during the day. There should be plenty of space (16'x16') but I might add two lengths of the panel to add another 16' length. Which would give 16x32 foot run area. The coops are inside the run. However, my run is open. I am planning on putting bird netting or snow fence over the run to keep birds of prey out. However, not sure how secure the playhouse would be throughout the night. I like the idea of adding a dog run, but my husband is not happy about giving up more space to poultry. Oh, he doesn't understand what he agreed to either. :lol:
So, any ideas besides buying dog run for the ducks?
