How's my first coop??

[arup]

My ducklings are getting big.. FAST! This is our first time go with them too so I wanted to post some pictures and any advice on how to make it better for them would be greatly appreciated!! I'm pretty happy with how well we did as first timers building a coop!

Looks great! Only suggestion is to put chicken wire or something on the open front top part, the ducks wont try and fly out but if a hawk sees a way in it might try. Love it though, it looks great. I like how you lined the run with cement bricks. Gorgeous dogs too

Lovely! I don't think I can see all the fencing you used, but my general rule is - any shelter that is used for night time needs half inch metal hardware cloth.

Do you have the little house well ventilated?

Difficult topic, but raccoons will reach through even a one inch gap to grab ducks. And they climb.
