Nesting Boxes

Can anyone post pictures of your nesting boxes for your ducks? I need some help on what to build for my ducks for next year.

Inside my duck house I built a community nest box along the back wall. It is about 2 ft wide by 6 ft long. Here is a pic of the outside of the house and a couple of building the next box area.

I buy these at Tractor Supply. I wait for a sale. They are pretty cheap. If the link doesn't work, they are called Petbarn.

[Trenary Duck Farm]

On our farm we use two standard types of nesting boxes for muscovy ducks.

This is a 12" wide x 12" high x 18" deep with an 8" diameter hole. At last count there were 15 eggs in it.

This is a nest in one of our pond-side brooding pens. It is 18" wide x 12" high x 12" deep with an 7" diameter hole. We believe she is sitting on about 15 eggs.
