Show me your duck house!

[Schfam]

I have a few different duck houses, all on the small side, but this one is my favourite. The ventilation is wrapped around the whole house so it gets a lot of airing, and the roof flips up, which makes it much easier to clean than the others.

I love it! A log cabin for ducks, so cute!! I'm planning to do a lifting roof like that too!

DUCK/GOOSE RUN WE JUST BUILT!

The 2 of us just finished building a 'run' addition to the 'little goose coop' we built ourselves 5 years ago (with no plans, experience, fancy tools, or help!)

We had a not great, make-do, detached 'run' for several years and finally designed and built this new one onto the coop for our 3 ducks and pet goose, Gabby, and just finished! We literally just drew an amateur sketch on a scrap of paper. It took us only about 10 days start to finish with a lot of by-hand-with-shovels excavating! (Hot days, and SO hard)! They now have a safe, attached run with a little door for them into their coop. Soft river rock base is gentle on their feet and easy to clean.

The little garden we made built into the rock patio was a great place for some excess dirt. We made a little wattle border around it and planted it with wildflower mixed seeds.

We designed our goose coop to blend with our 250 year old house and we think the run compliments it as well...Everything was done by us on a budget and cost far less than anything pre-made and we think it's much nicer too. The girls love it!
