how big should the duck house be?

2'x4' or 3'x4' either would work fine.

If you don't want to build a house and aren't too concerned about money tractor supply has a duck house you may be interested in.

I Oh and if they are calls they won't need as much room as they are a bantam (small) duck. So you could do just 8 ft sq for the 2.

If we are talking about ducks here the small run will turn into a muddy mess.The more space the better.You can always free range them.

Yes, they are Calls..You can try using a net to catch them..Then clip their wings if you plan to keep them...A secure safe pen is needed..
Best of luck!

Yes I was speaking of coop/house not run. I thought they planned on leaving them on pond/free range. I agree biggest run possible if keeping them closed in.

@liamedson i used an old dog house when i had 3 call ducks and they were perfectly content in it

you will not want to keep food in it though as it will attract bugs and stuff you dont want

also remember that ducks NEED water to eat so never feed without water being accesible
depending on what part of the state you are in i may be able to help out some more, just send a pm if you dont want to post it openly

well at least they have a roof and 4 walls for the time being (still need to add a door) i hope that is enough ventilation.
