First Time Duck Mommy

[ShellyH22]

Hi…I am new to the duck world. I just bought 3 pekin ducklings and I have a housing question. How large do the ducks actually get? I am starting to build a house for them and I'm not sure how large to make the door/opening. I want them to be able to go in and out with ease when they are full grown. Any other house/enclosure tips would be great! Thanks!

My duckies will arrive sometime in the next few days!! So excited about my new duck adventure! We have chickens now and love the fresh eggs. LOL I guess I'm no help in answering your question! We are going to put ours in a 10x16 shed with a doggie door going out into a pen that goes out into the main yard. Can't wait!!

Out for an evening stroll

10 inches X 12" would be a tight fit so any thing larger would be fine
