i got a coop. They will sleep together they said. I don't see this happening, so now I'm trying to figure this all out.
I am adding a covered run and incorporating the coop in the run.
Where are the ducks suppose to sleep? I'm getting the impression they have a mind of their own on this subject and I will have to teach them.
Should they go into the roosting area with the chickens where it will be closed up at night?
Do they prefer to stay out of that area and sleep under the roosting area on straw but in the coop?
Or should they just stay in the run in a seperate sleeping area?
I'm attaching pictures of the coop and the
dog house I was looking at for them(ducks). The dog house has a crowned floor and ventilation(per the description) and I would put straw in that. I just don't know if I feel comfortable with them being anywhere other then the locked roosting area at night.
