So I am a first time chicken and duck owner and they are now sleeping out in their coop but the ducks have been sleeping on the ground and I’m sure something will get them so I have been catching them and locking them in the coop but I’m wondering if it’s easy to train ducks to sleep inside the house and just put diapers on them? I just worry something will get them. I made them a duck house but they Aren’t going in they have been sleeping up against the fence when I go out to check on them before bed. I wouldn’t have a problem catching them each night and locking them with the chickens but I read they let out moisture at night and being locked up with chickens can give the chickens respiratory issues. I’m just a worried mom. I have 4 chickens and 2 Rouen ducks and they all get along so well. I made a tractor coop but the bottom is chicken wire and I know it’s not the safest but I only plan on them being in that during the day. I lock them up so nothing can get into their sleep/nesting area at night.
