Duck Pen Ideas - Needed

[mm41yr]

Hello everyone! I am brand new to BYC and was so excited to come across this website. We just got 2 Pekin ducklings yesterday and I am trying to be proactive and get their duck house built. We are thinking to add another 2 ducks in the near future so I am hoping I can build 1 duck house now that will house 4 ducks in the future.
What size does the duck house need to be? Is there anywhere on this website that has duck house plans or pictures? I am so nervous about making sure these little guys have the right space.
Also is there anyway to figure out how old they might be right now? I forgot to ask at the store to see if they possibly knew.

Thanks for any advice y'all can give this new duck mama

Hi! I am pretty new to ducks as well, but I do have a few thoughts. First of all, your ducks are probably 2-3 weeks old(depending on where you got them and if you got them at tractor supply). Second, you could build a run with wood and chicken wire and tarps, and then just add a small hutch or coop for shelter. You can also buy a run but you need to have space for a small pool or pond. You can use rocks and make a mand made pond with a fish filter to keep it clean (ducks are very messy). Hope this helps!
