Can ducks climb this?

[Lil Drake40]

I have a few scovys that like to Lay in
the chicken boxes too and they have to get on a roost to do it. As long as they don’t get the idea to brood in one I really don’t care if mine lay in them. I think they are looking for an out of the way place to layso they can build up there clutch for brooding sneaky lil things lol

Pretty girl. I don't see any issues with it as long as she gets along with your chickens.
My ramp is much steeper than yours and mine can still climb. Plus, muscovies can jump well and fly. They can get to rooftops and trees. Really if she is determined enough, she will do as she pleases.

I have Ramps and Call Ducks. They can climb. Plus they can climb out of puppy playpens too..

WOW! To my surprise I found this egg in my chicken coop yesterday. I am sure it's my Muscovy as she was the only missing duck egg from the actual duck nest. Can she climb into this chicken coop? I have alarms set every hour to go investigate. I have had her for 15 months and never seen her climb anything! She even hated climbing up into the pool (10 inches off ground) I have several breeds of chickens but the size and color sure looks duck to me!!! I have 8 juvenile chickens waiting for start laying but this egg doesn't match ANYTHING of what the chickens should be laying! How can you tell the difference between duck and chicken eggs?

Ducks: Muscovy, Pekin, Khaki Campbell, Rouen
Chickens: Isa Brown, Barred Rock, EE, Buff Orpington, Rhode Island Red. (currently only chickens laying are the Isa & EE)

Here are some Pics

That's defiantly a moscovy duck egg I have one that laid an egg under her food dish lol ducks are some crazy creatures

You can also feel a waxy like coating on duck eggs

I have deep water bowl and they have to lift up on tiptoes to submerge their whole heads. Sometimes this makes a n egg squirt out.
