Housing Ducks

[Jeniep]

I am looking to buy housing for my ducks! They are somewhat feral and spend most of their time in the pond! I would like to house this winter so they are out of some of the cold weather and safer from predators. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEAS OR HOUSING SETUPS THEY COULD SHARE ?

Thanks, Jeniep

What kinds of ducks do you have and how many? That makes a big difference in duck house size and type... and most prefabs are not adequate housing, a simple shed may be more reasonable... I will look for some threads, there were several old ones with tons of pics and ideas, hopefully I can find them for you...

I really like my duck housing.

Well...Ducks need training to use a House and do not just seek shelter..Herding them in will need to be done and provide wind breaks are warm straw to huddle into..

We have seven silver Appleyard ducks that are less than a year old. We live in Maine and built their duckhouse and attached run from scratch. Here's a link to a thread about the build: https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/our-maine-duck-house.1177775/
