Help. Duck pen Ideas!!!

[UrbanChickenKid]

Hi everyone! I have 5 east indies ducks and me and my dad are planning on building their coop. This is our first time with ducks, and I was wondering if you could show me some pictures of you ducks pens and maybe give me some tips. Thanks!

I was going to make a separate pen for my 4 ducks. two KC & 2 Indian Runners all 9 wks. BUT when we started allowing them out of their pen last week which has a (dog crate) for them to sleep and a pool..... They started to hang out with the chickens. They even like napping during the day under the chicken coop. SO for us we are going to fence in the area under our second coop to allow them to be near the chickens and give them a separate run off of it so they don't have to share a run with the chickens. We allow everyone to free range and they just really like being with the Chickens.. so much so that we moved their pool near the chickens and another food dish. Its been 1 week and I have noticed they don't even return to their pen anymore during the day . They will return to it only when its time to be locked in their crate. I hope that helps a tad for ideas. ALSO we had looked at building them an A Frame pen such as pictured .

I use chain link dog kennels. They work great for my Muscovies. I just have to clip their wings so they don't fly over the top.
