Hello there,
I need help on picking a house for my call ducks out of the following pictures - I have one of those minds that will search for houses for ages and then still not be able to pick one.
Okay I have two ducks, hoping to have ducklings mid-March, hopefully 4-6. This house will be somewhere to sleep at night and when there is bad weather. We don't get snow but we do get rain and sometimes cold temps. I am not a DIYer not do I know anyone who can help me build my own but I can do small things at a push lol. Plus the £s are limited as a student (but I will not compromise on good quality housing etc for my animals).
So which ones in your experience would be better? The only problem I have with a chicken coop is it's size and the fact that most of the ones I've looked at (online) have perches or something inside for chickens to sit on, but I fear my ducks will get stuck or something if they have those in their house.
this one is one of my favourites - it has two vents at the back for air and the window can open, but my concern is the size inside, it is 4x4 and I would have to purchase a separate run.
This one is another option, however it has the perches like I mentioned above and a 'galvanised tray' to help clean out the coop.
This one looks good but I feel may be too small but do my ducks really need a lot of space?
This one is my favourite - it's a dog kennel. However it's the most costly one at 10ftx4ft, 4ft high at £360 plus £55 erection fee and a fee for delivery (unknown).
Any opinions?
