Duck house size for 7-8 ducks.

[IttyBittyBirdy]

Hi all,
I have a question regarding duck house size.
They're Swedish/Ancona mix (maybe 10lbs for the drakes) and will be only put in at night, and free range during the day.
So what size of duck house am I looking at here? What other things should I consider?
Thanks!

1-2 square feet per duck should be big enough

Rule of thumb for Chickens is 4 SF per chicken in the coop and 10 SF per chicken in the run. Should be the same for ducks.

I would think so too.

Mines 8x8 seems pretty decent for my 8, I wouldn’t want a lot more.
