Separate entrance for ducks and pop door for chickens

[hayley3]

Has anyone devised a pop door that their ducks cannot enter?
Someone said to make the door up high but I believe ducks can walk up a ramp pretty easily.

Chickens can hop vertically into a doorway 2' up. It needs to be wide enough that their wings can be open though.

That said ....if they have access to the easier ducky door they will likely use that.

I can make them a platform to hop up on but not sure I can make the door 2 ft up. My ducks can get up on the front porch which is over a foot but maybe I could make a raised perch in front of the platform...hmmm something to ponder

It doesn't HAVE to be 2' up. Just up high enough the ducks cannot get up there.

If they both have access to the run area why the separate doors?

I divided the coop into 2 bedrooms..one for the chickens and one for the ducks/goose.

I think I have it figured out....I just need to make the ramp no wider than 6 inches which will be plenty for a chicken to get up. They climb up a 2x6 on a regular basis and will be used to that.
