First time duck owner. What is effective shelter and housing, and how to clean it? (PICS)

I think the windows will be fine as-is, just ditch the screens and staple 1/2" hardware cloth securely on the inside... covering the entire window area. A 'coon would be able to rip the flimsy screen and get inside. You can adjust the glass sash for ventilation depending on the weather.

Good idea. Sounds easy. Thanks!

Save yourself the hassle, leave the screens just hardware cloth over the entire window.. i have seen people do the outside, use washer and screws. My windows being antique had nothing behind them so they were just a big hole so we hardware wired from the inside.
