Coop Flooring/ Chickens & Ducks Cohabitating

[NurseHollyHen]

Hi there!

I am looking for some ideas on what I can do for my coop flooring. I currently have my coop just on the ground with open flooring. But I live in the Oregon and the rains have begun. It is getting quite muddy in the coop and the Ducks bed down on shavings and straw on the ground which has gotten somewhat muddy.

What are some easy ideas on ways I can raise up the coop a bit and add a flooring? It can't be too high or have too steep of a ramp or the ducks will be hesitant to go in it (they are weird like that

This is my mission for the next few days so any advice would be great!!

you could put stone pavers down. Depending on how big your coop is shouldn’t be too pricey, and easy to do.

Welcome to BYC!

Pics of coop, inside and out, would help a great deal.
Is water running into coop from the outside?
That would be the first thing to correct...gutters, trenches, can help divert water away from coop.
