We're finally getting into ducks more officially with 10 Khaki Campbell ducklings on their way in May.

We have an area where we plan to add a little pond where the ducks can make use of drainage from a fodder unit. It will also be close to our future garden so we can use a transfer pump to water the garden.

We plan to build a pen around the pond and add a duck house. We will also have a gate to give the ducks access to the garden as desired.

We have the rights to use and sell numerous chicken coops and sheds blueprints and think it would be fun to make modifications for the ultimate duck setup.

With that in mind, I would love to hear about the features you have or would like to have for a duck house.

Eliminate 95% of the weeds in your lawn by mowing 3 inches or higher. Then plant tiny ads:
