How many ducks could this pen hold http://www.horizonstructures.com/storage-sheds-chicken-coop.asp the awesome all in one chicken coop how many "TSC" ducks could that hold?

Which one are you asking about?

Sorry, now I know what you are asking..... ducks do not need roosts. They are low laying and sleep on the ground (most of the time unless in the wild). That's a BIG expensive building. How many ducks are you planning to keep?

12x40= 480sqft so if they were not going to get to free range during the day you could hold 5 pair (11 birds or so) rule of thumb 100sqft per pair if that is permanent pen. But if they get out during the day you could put as many as 24 in there just for the night.

so 11 is maxium you would say no more?

ah, you could probably get away with 15 in that size pen since you are considering the miniature appleyards
