I normally don't put water inside their house overnight because obviously way to messy... but when it's probably 85 degrees inside their house right now, I wonder if I should? I converted a beautiful Amish playhouse into duckhouse by adding 9 more windows (it came with 2) and drilled a couple hundred holes both up near the top of the walls and near the bottom also. ( In the winter I boarded up the lower holes. ) even have a little battery fan attached to the hardware cloth in one of the windows, blowing out, to pull air through the house, and I put a reflective tarp over the roof for the summer, it all seems to be helping. The sad thing is the house doesn't get shade... no trees big enough yet. It's very tall and difficult to shade it. Last summer when I first bought this new house for them I had not yet made all the improvements, so, when it was in the 90's during the day, I brought my ducks into the spare room I have in my basement (much cooler!) It's a big job to get them all to go down there so I want to avoid doing that this year. In a few hours the temp will be down to 75 but now it's still 85 and they are in their house and look hot (panting) Do you think I should put a water bucket in there?
