Could I use this for ducks??

You don't mention how many ducks you want to get (very important as your setup looks VERY small) or if this is only their nighttime coop/pen. Its absolutely adorable, but I wouldn't recommend it unless you can greatly expand the area.

The ramp isn't appropriate for ducks, they need a solid one - which has already been mentioned. A small pond or bin for swimming is a must, as well.

Get two drakes , mini's .....I have mini-silverappleyards and mini Ovenbergs and the males are totally quiet, but the females are big mouths. Put pond rock(round pebbles) on the ground and you can just hose it down.

All domestic duck hens are loud to varying degrees. If you want a male/female pair then try Muscovies out. They make raspy noises and trilling noises.

Or borrow someone's new puppy. Your neighbor won't be able to hear the ducks over a yappy dog.

I'd check to make sure there's no more than a half inch gap, especially from ground level to three feet up. My ducks often nap right against the fence, and could be pulled through in pieces if a 'coon could reach through the wire. And be sure nothing can dig under the pen. Looks like you may already have that under control.

Looks cozy - I agree with sticking with few, small, and probably drakes. If you just like ducks (and who doesn't???), drakes are nice. They are quiet, and still eat slugs and insect pests and make the best fertilizer! And some are such sweethearts!

I had a male muscovies and he would let out loud foghorn kind of sound when he want to get with the female.Also Muscovies would be way to big for that set up.
