I'm considering adding a few ducks to my chicken flock. How does the nest. Box need to be set up? Hieght off the ground. Can they climb up a ramp/ladder?this is my chicken house. I am adding a second run off to the right. Still early enough in the build to change things if I need too. Any advice. Thanks
My advice: If you want to add ducks, do not house them with your chickens. It can be done, and I'm sure there are people out there that do it, however ducks that are kept in a coop/run are far more messy than chickens. You will end up cleaning that coop twice, if not 3x times as much as you do now. I have 4 ducks and the free range, they leave mess in the yard than my chickens do IMO but when cooped up they mess their living quarters much faster than a chicken would.
