Thinking about getting ducks

[Glenmar]

I recently hatched 6 ducklings for a co-worker. Now I am thinking of getting some myself.
I saw this duck house on craigslist. Any comments from you experienced duck owners???

Does it give dimensions? It looks to small for standard sized ducks IMO

It looks PERFECT for bantam ducks! (Calls, Mallards, East Indie, Appleyard, Australian Spotted, Silky)

I say get it! If I lived closer that house would be mine!

Yep. And i think the floor slides out.

The pool has a drain too.

The guy makes 3 sizes.
The pool is 110 gallons. Sizes for the houses are 3x3 4x4 and 6x6

i think for a few like 3 females or a few bantams that would be so awsome!!!!!!
but i guess if you build it yourself you can build it bigger or even add to it if you want more..
ducks are messy messy messy animals and you eather love them or absolutely hate them..
me im compleatly inlove with mine in the middle of a hatch of 10 eggs
2 didnt survive and 2 arent out of the shell yet very happy with that..
plus i have 4 swedish blues

how high off the ground is it then..

One question: Is the wood treated? With the pool right there it would rot quickly.

I would get the 6x6, but that's all up to you.

Hard to tell how high it is from the picture. It has to fit the pool under the deck.
Would 3 pekins do ok in the 3x3 house??

no, i dont think it would be, sorry. but the 6X6 would be for sure
