Ideas for duck coop?

[Miss Cheep]

Hello, we have 30 ducks, 23 are muscovies, and the other 7 are khaki campbells and white layers. It had been extra rainy here in washington and are ducks look really wet! (Although they enjoy it during the day) So any ideas of what to build for them? They are free range.

What's your main goal? A wind break and rain shelter?

 

[Miss Cheep]

Mostly a rain shelter, and in summer just some shade.

dog run with a roof. 10x10 wire panels from a farm store.
Or buy/build an expensive shed

Yes, but what would the dimensions of the coop be? And the shape?

Thank you for the link! I forgot to mention that our ducks live in our 1 acre orchard.

No predators?

 

[Miss Cheep]

Nope! Our whole 6 acre farm is fenced and has pastures, and occasionally a possum comes under the gate, but the orchard is completely fenced.

If we built a coop for them, how big would the run be, and how would I be able to keep the poop under control without cleaning it every other day?
