Show me your duck coops! Update: also looking for duckling brooders

[mrpekinduck]

Hi I already have a coop and run but will be building an addition onto my coop so I wanna see what all of yours look like to get some ideas!
Thanks!

Here is a picture of our duck cabin for our muscovy's.

i won't let her use matches any more. she is very irresponsible, she tried blaming last fire on the dog.

Because they're great and their beaks aren't pointy! Pointy is bad!

Quackmire Downs houses 13 ducks on the bottom. Roosts were added to the top at the demands of the 4 hens.

It boasts automatic waterers and a nesting box where the hens actually lay.

An ugly feed shed completes the compound.

I just finished mine yesterday! Made out of a couple of pallets. I may stain it later when I have more time.

If fifty-year-old wood, pit liner, and tarps are cute, my coops are awful spiffy, too. Yeah, that should work. IF the ducks decide to actually go into it. It is a constant battle here, trying to get a dozen ducks into their coop every night. We have had completely free range ducks here before year round, and they do just fine. They typically do not mind the elements, just predators.

Just how do you get the ducks into their coop? We have two ponds, one shallow one from the spring house to the dam about 30'x 40' irregular and the second which was a pool and now is a pond. It's 50' x 30', 3' deep at the low end to 7" at the deep end. We have a floating duck house in the middle of the "pool" but no one seems interested. We had a pair of production Rouens and lost the duck a few nights ago to a predator. We thought for sure the floating duck house would do the trick; obviously not. we would be very willing to purchase a coop but how do we get the ducks to go in at night? Would they even be interested? Our friend brought us two hens to replace the lost one and they won't even look at the house. All three perch on it but won't go in.

It's a shame, we have a very secure bank barn and we have one of the stalls fixed up as a coop for the chickens but its almost 400' from the ponds and the chickens will not let the ducks near them. The hens are actually quite mean to the ducks. Also, the chickens automatically go into the barn and up their roosts at sun down every night. We'd gladly fix another stall for the ducks but they haven't ventured past the farm house which is half way between the barn and the ponds. Don't know how we'd get them to go in anyway.

Thanks for any feedback.
