Hi everyone! I have been a member for a while, but I am in need of some help! We have a flock of 7 chickens (adding more in the spring) and a pair of female Rouen ducks. They are all going to be a year old this spring and are all in the same large coop. The coop is about 10ft by 10ft with a slanted roof. The previous owners of our house had sectioned of the end of a large cement shed for the coop.
They all do great together and we have no issues with them living together, but the ducks make such a mess!! lol I would love to be able to have separate waterers for the chickens and ducks but need some help with the design of it all. Right now it is a temporary layout and I want to redo it all in the spring and would love some ideas from others who have done duck and chicken combo coops!! Here is a quick layout of our coop right now.
