Duck housing

[Jenspekin10]

I would really love some pictures of your guys's duck houses to get an idea what to build I have 10 Pekin ducks very new at all this right now I have them housed in the garage and their own space with straw but would love to build them their own house and would love to see some of yours

I’m new to ducks too and would love to see some houses as well as pond areas. I’ve got mine built, but already have plans for expansion (duck math ya know) and my ducklings aren’t even here yet...

Ya I'm on fixed income so if I can do it myself I would prefer that I seen a lady who use pallets and tore them apart and use that to build Coop and I'm checking into seeing about that around my area I'm lucky I have a neighbor that works in the farming industry he may be able to get me some I just got to figure out how big for 10 ducks

I found on this website a great way to keep your ducklings and and easy to clean up mess use a large tote mine was paper and then rubber shelving liner cut 2 of them to fit when one gets dirty you pull it out rinse it off the other one in and switch them out it works really well

We used an old dog kennel from my in-laws(free), some hardwire cloth and chicken wire(also from in laws), an old playhouse of our daughters and weather proof tarp for our duckies! We only have 2 ducks at the moment and this works very well for them!
