I have a big shed with a concrete floor. I thought concrete would be perfect with bedding on to, but the shed floods in heavy rain, so they are now up on pallets, pallets are covered by chaff bags covered by bedding. I have renovated in one nesting area, one drake run and a pile of perches for the chickens. I usually only have to hose the front area down, and if something gets too messy I can just take out a chaff bag and put in a new one. About once a month I do full clean out, everything comes out, washed out. Then put back together. I wish id actually thought about it instead of just saying, yeah, they will all just live together, why not?
I started out thinking the hens and the ducks would live together, then started to think harder about how the hens like things dry and sandy and the ducks like things really wet!! I wonder if my husband thinks I'm just dragging him along. He thought the ducks were a great idea when I said let's just let them share the chicken coop. Now he's out there building my duck dwelling....for my birthday!
