My baby ducks light is so bright I don't know what to do

[hailey_marie]

- Standard 2 x 4s.
- 3/8” standard plywood panels.
- 1/4” hardwire cloth, though 1/2” works too.
- Circular saw & wire cutters for any cutting.
- Drill, screws, and washers to hold everything together.
- 2 hinges and 2 latches for the door.
I also varnished some of the wood, namely the floor, before assembly for extra protection / waterproofing.

Depending on predators, you may need thicker panels / stronger wire. The biggest predators I have here are coyotes.

My coop is 6W x 10L x 6H, 60 sq ft, and could hold up to 15 ducks (4 sq ft per duck), but I just have 11 ducks. With you having 2 ducks, you could have a much smaller coop (unless you want more ducks in the future!).

My coop is up on my back porch and therefore doesn’t have a wide / sloped roof, nor does it have a run, but yours should. It’s also very open & ventilated due to the heat here.

Aw your ducks are so adorable. Thank you so much your coop looks really good I'm impressed. I ss everything you sent me so I can use yours as a slight reference
