duck space

How much space should I give two ducks

 

[Amiga]

There's night time shelter and day time. For night time, depends a bit on the breed of duck.

I like to go with 6 square feet per duck for night shelter. For daytime, I recall Storey's Guide to Raising Ducks recommending 25 square feet per duck if they don't get out on pasture.

If they are inside for the night and outside for the day, you can go with 4-5 square feet per bird for the inside coop and about 25 square feet per bird for the yard. If you cannot move or rotate the pen, you should go with more so the pen doesn't become nasty.

If they are in one place all the time (which they will be much happier and healthier if they are outside), you will need more space.
