Hey, I'm glad you asked this because it would be awsome to see some different styles and types of housing. I will get a pic of my little duck house (very small and basic, just for sleeping) posted some time today.

I needed to see some duck houses too, so glad you asked! I also, live in Florida. Need somethng for shade and safety at night. Curious as to what others use!

I live in Florida also. Here's a pic of my run and all I use for their house is the dog house you see in the corner. The actual coop is for the chickens. My ducks free range during the day so they have lots of places for shade but will be putting a tarp on part of the run.

Can you please give me the size of the pen they sleep in and what type of pond they have to swim on.

Thanks,

Here is my first little duck house. I can't remember what the messurements turned out to be but it is the perfect size right now for my four young Kahki's, some water, and food. I can go messure it in the morning.

It is surrounded by poultry netting, so that I can move them around.

The run I have mine in is 200 sq ft. just two dog runs put together with hardware cloth around the bottom part. They sometimes sleep in the lg dog house but most of the time they're just out and about all night in the run. They swim in a kids pool and love it!
