Just 6 weeks til my ducklings arrive....lend me your wisdom

Just one week left til those tiny quackers arrive!
I will be building them an 8x5 coop with metal roof. I know the metal is not ideal but it is what I have. The coop will be made from pallets and salvaged sheet goods. So far I have 16 pallets that are 40" x48".
To maximize my run space I am taking a section of fence off and building the coop partially inside and partially outside the existing chicken run. The chicken run will be split as I have "extra" space in there.
I had been planning to process out many of the chickens. Things being as they are the only place around here that I could legally have them done is not doing any this year.
Eventually the chickens will be gone from that big coop and run giving the ducks more space.
Since I had left a lot of space around the chicken run this will still allow good access (3+feet) for maintaining things.

:fl That all goes smoothly.
