Duck Coop Suggestions?

[viennaproto]

Hello everyone!
I have been raising ducks and chickens for a long time now and have definitely learned my lesson with predators in the past. I have worked for two years now to design the perfect coop for my ducks. I have recently purchased six call ducklings and I am excited to introduce them to their new coop when they are older! I usually let my ducks free range during the day and put them back in their coop around 8 pm. I have added pictures of my coop but I am open to any suggestions on how to keep my ducks safe and away from predators as I live in an area with plenty of predators.

Thank you!! I just got some ducklings yesterday so they won't be in the coop for a little while, but I'm so excited to introduce them to the quack shack when they're older.

If you look closely at the first picture you can see there are large slits in the horizontal back wall where it connects to the roof. Plenty of ventilation, I have never had a problem with it!
