is my coop big enough?????

[needlessjunk]

I used a textured deck paint for my floor and it has worked out really well, but I use lots of shavings too and it stays really clean.

I use straw in there cause it seems to be cheaper and I have a pan of water in there also.. so it may get a little wet in the corner .. I've only had them in it for 3 days so I'm still figuring out what I should do also do they need the water if locked up there all night

Adult ducks don't need food and water over night but youngins do. till at least 4-5 weeks old. There are ways to keep the bedding from getting too wet, place some kind of pan under the water that will help some.

Even if it's hot at night .. except for winter the rest of the year it's 80 or more at night is that still ok?

Do they have good air circulation in their house? Ventilation is very important. as long as they have good air circulation they should be fine over night with out food and water, they will be asleep. I hottest parts of the year I don't know about you but my flock isn't going inside till close to dark and getting let out early in the morning after daylight.

That looks great your Scovy's will love getting up there. As long as it sturdy remember the drakes can get up to 12-15 lbs. Put some vinyl on it and your all set.

That is really nice for the Muscovy's they love to roost up on things. and plenty of room underneath if someone wants to lay and egg.
