Help! Missing duck, one lonely duck left

We totally understand! We just don't have another option right now to keep them safe. The runners slept in a corner in the coop with fresh straw while the chickens roost in other parts of the coop. So far the ducks have never been pooped on. I check on them in the night often and they seemed to have this arrangement. My boyfriend has wanted to update the coop but we don't have the finances at the moment.

Same problem here: When i saw the prices for hardware cloth i had to sit down! - So its chicken wire and wood and a fence electrocuter ;) hopefully soon…
I wish my last name would be Rockefeller, Carnegie or Hughes! :lau

Build your own. We had a coyote push out the staples on the hardware cloth . Stapled on the inside looks better but does not protect well. Paid way too much for the coop/run to have this happen. It was a determined coyote because to get to the cloth it was pushing on an electric fence. We stapled it back on the inside and added a layer on the outside.

I read somewhere on this forum that when you put up hardware cloth use fender washers and screws so that if something pushes against it they won't be able to break through. Makes total sense to me. More work but much safer!
