This is my first year raising Muscovy ducks but mine seem to like secluded, half hidden spots. I've built some "boxes" out of grass and straw bales by putting some bales about 2 feet apart parallel to each other. I then put one against the back to make a wall and then put a couple across the top to form the roof. I've done this outside and also inside their 3 sided shelter. I also just put some bales in the shelter about 2 feet from the back wall. The one outside was taken first, then the space between the bales and wall, and last the bale house inside the shelter. The nest outside is about a week away from hatching so I'm excited and hopeful to see some new ducklings soon! Hope some of these ideas help.
