The dirt part gets pretty damp so I need to build it up some.

Probably a good idea, maybe you can find some used wood or scarp wood or wood pallets[lowes] that you could use.The dirt part gets pretty damp so I need to build it up some.
Wood isn't good by itself but if you cover it with something, and honestly concrete washes off pretty easy, I have it on my patio with rock over top and I just take the hose to it. If you use deep shavings all you'll need to do is scoop out the poop on top use the pitch fork to turn it over and done for the day. adding new bedding as needed.Wood isn't a good idea as it can get soaked with urine and smell. Concrete isn't good either as you need the urine to drain but part of the floor is already concrete so not much I can do about that.

well that's something I never knew. Thanks.Ducks do not excrete urine, they excrete uric acid combined with the feces.

What a beautiful place, here are a few ideas for feeders and waterers. Ducks need to be able to wash their faces and clean their nares out especially when eating. https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/831912/feeders-waterers-ideal-for-ducksSo the duck pen is in work. We decided to put them on the concrete portion in the photo. The chicken will go on the dirt part after I build a floor and walls. This was an old storage area behind a solid wall ( the old plywood is leaning on the back wall) which is why to my wife's dismay it never got painted.
The pen will match the horses stalls seen here ( you can see the wall as solid back towards the end of the barn)
So our next question is what types of things need to be in the pen. What type of food dishes and water?
