looks good. are you planning to paint it. i recommend it , would will last longer. are you planning on windows? is this house strictly for your ducks? i saw chickens in the first photos. and you mentioned roosts, ducks usually dont use roost.

Yes were gonna paint it. Will probably add windows when we can afford it. No it's a chicken/duck house. Theyre only gonna be a few roosts the ducks will still have their area to sleep in.

Do you have any air vents in the coop? FYI....From what I've read on BYC it is a must to have air vents, and they should be placed towards the top of the coop for the moisture to escape....even when it's really cold the moisture has to go somewhere. Moisture is created when ducks/chicks breathe (especially in cold weather) and from their poop...it isn't healthy for them if the moisture cannot be ventilated. Also, you probably have already thought of this, the coop needs air vents for the summer that can be supplied by a window, or air vents in one or two walls. You can close off/tape off if necessary the wall air vents in the winter.
Coops looks great by the way!!!!!

I'll have to look into getting something for vents. Would like screen for a front door work?

no. do not use that. a predator can rip and get into your coop. best advice, use hardwire cloth, more expensive, but worth it.

We don't have "predators" here. Worst we get are cats but dog takes care of those real quick.
