Looks great. I think a branch going straight across the middle from the egg box ledge to the 2 x 2 on the other side would be cool. Have the ducks started eating your plants? Might be cool to have a pothos vine or something growing up the branches if the ducks will allow it.

I had considered pothos vine as well. And I agree a horizontal branch across the width of the pen would be good.

good looking pen Scott

just be careful that during breeding season the boys dont beat down one another. I tried 3 pr in a 8x12 pen one time had to take out 1 boy after his girl layed her eggs

Yeah, I've noticed the same thing. The white male picks on one of the colored males. So, I think I'm going to make a pen for each pair... at least during breeding season.

Scott I love your coop! I am new to ducks and would like a few do you have any recommindations for a hot humid climate? I would like to breed em' and possibly sell fertile eggs. Oh, and what are the dimmensions on your coop? Do you have any pics of inside? Thanks in advance!
