Hello and welcome to BYC! :frow Glad you joined.
Have you decided on a coop plan? For the chickens you are going to need 4 sq ft per bird in the coop. For the ducks I believe it is 6, not sure.

I have...though, it's kinda a work in progress (the best laid plans)....

Indoor coop is 10x12. Outdoor run connected will be an L shape...16x20 down one side, 10x12 the other.
