Show me your duck house

[Miss Lydia]

That's what a friend actually calls ours. Shanty town. Serves its purpose.

This is the duck/chicken coop. Nothing fancy!

I think your is country fancy! I love your set up

 

[quackiemama]

Looks pretty fancy to me. Mine definitely needs some prettying up.

yep hers makes mine look boring

I need more duck house pics... please

Love what I have seen so far.

Mine is pretty small, about 4ftx4ft, which I worry will be too small for my six ducks once I finally move them out there (which will be very soon), but here it is...

I bought a cedar children's playhouse kit from walmart.com. I made a few modifications to make it more secure from predators and I painted it as well. My brother built the raised floor/deck and ramp.

What breed? @DuckMama9 your house is adorable.

My duck "house" (sectioned off 4'x4' area in our coop) might be too small now also. We just took in 2 more ducks yesterday. Now we have 4 rouens and 1 pekin. I think there's 1 rouen drake (could be 2) and I know the pekin is a drake, so I may have to cull back the drakes a bit which would be less duck's in the duck house. We have until winter though because they only use the duck hose to eat right now.

Last night was my six young ducks’ first night in their small house! We will see how it goes! So far so good but I’m thinking about adding a small, enclosed outdoor run off the back of the house. I’ve seen some people do that so that the ducks can go in or out at night and also I can put their water out there to help keep the bedding in their house more dry!

 

[Miss Lydia]

Good plan just make it totally enclosed top sides and bottom with at least 1/2” hardware cloth. They will love it and it will give you peace of mind.

This is ours. Designed for two Anconas but as they say design bigger because you always get more which I'm glad I did because before I even finished it I acquired to call ducks. Still have some finishing up to do but the bull of it is done.
They go in at night to sleep and get let out in the morning between 6-7am to their run with the chickens and rabbit.
