Yeah this is the same with mine... mine free range all day so. And it is always fun to "herd" 20 ducks in there stall at nightNo, Ducks won't go to Roost back in the shed like a Chicken.. Ducks actually don't sleep all night like Chickens do..You will have to herd them in every night or they will find their own spot to rest...

How do you know if the coyotes aren't around? no way I could leave mine out after dark.Mine don't go inside on their own. They like to party after dark. I agree that they can learn routine though. When I go out to lock the chicken coop after dark the ducks are usually awake and active. It's not too hard to herd them into their house and lock the door behind them, usually I just stand at one end of the run and shine the light towards their house and they'll all climb in. If I'm going to be awake for awhile longer and the coyotes aren't around I like to let them stay out late, they seem to enjoy it, and I'll go lock them up just before I go to bed.
