Thank you for coming back!
The OP of this thread needs help.
We found your older thread of the floating duck house that you built and I thought that you could give her some advice.
Nice! I’m wondering what you do to keep your ducks secure? How about collecting eggs? Thanks for sharing!Hi folks!
Anything for fellow duck folks.
Do you have any specific questions I can answer?
In the meantime, here are some things I’ve learned from my build:
1. I should have built a bigger platform, our ducks prefer to sun out and this build only had a foot around the central structure.
2. Anchoring the house is important especially if you’re in a windy area.
3. I wish I left it on the ground a bit more so I could get our ducks acclimated and used to climb the ramps (they learned on their own)
4. Four barrels were way more than enough for the weight, you can actually see the platform floating high in the water. Either build a taller ‘skirt’, bigger platform, let some water into the barrels (make sure to let the same amount as it will affect overall balance), or use less barrels.
I’ll add more as I think of them.
Here’s a picture of the duckies around it. I also had a video, but I think videos are not allowed here.
