I have two chickens and one duck right now (Looks like I might be picking up his friend today! So two ducks) and my coop that came was a large one. I had it made by a neighbor. I wanted enough room my duck (or 2) would have room since they don't roost.
He made it very large just like I wanted. So much room for the two hens to roost and even be on the ground if they wanted with the duck (or 2). I was curious though... should I just put some straw in the corner of the coop for the ducks to sleep? Or should I put a nesting box in there just for the duck? or should I not worry about it as there is a nesting box / egg box hooked onto my coop that has 4 nesting places in it and we only have 2 hens so at least 3 to 2 will be open all the time, that the ducks could snuggle into? (they are nice and roomy too).
