No, few will do but not many.

You can take it out when dried. The duck will be fine in there for 24-48hrs. It is the same as chicken. If you remove the young duck, just wet a warm towel and toss in the corner quick that good enough. Don't open the lid too long and often it will effect the unhatching eggs.

If you have 12V car battery, this may be another option. You do need to get 12VDC timer or an inverter to 110VAC and use any normal timer as you wish. 100W solar kit $70 12Vdc timer $10 12V light bulb $10...

The automatic chicken door is cheap and no need to open/close the coop door every day. I bought Kastty chicken door when the Chickguard isn't working right. The Kastty well made and seems decent enough. The Sibays door is similar and under $65 now on Amazon. I did a summary on the Kastty...

I did a quick summary on the Kastty automatic chicken door on this site. Ypu can see it meet your need. The door timer is very simple easy to setup and do support solar. The Sibays automatic chicken door look similar with Kastty and cheap now through Amazon Black Friday deal $63.xx. I...

Good deal... I don't have Prime and can't order under $35. Unfortunately, I wait for the daughter to be out the shower so she can order through student account and the deal no longer available. It is short live.

You could make 1 with the 4 gal square bucket and put in the coop. If you have an automatic coop door, it will keep the rat out as well.

The left over scrap or bone will do. There is no need to spend $ on it.

It depends where you live. I refer other breeds over CX. Since there is Costco near where I live, I just buy cooked CX for $5.

My box coop on the cement blocks and above ground. I did use linoleum sheet for the floor. I am using sand as base, add grass, wood chips, mulch, and dried leaves when available. I only clean once or twice a year. The last clean up around August/September for winter. I do add few shovel old...

If you are concern about it, there is an nob/dial in the fridge that you can increase to colder temperature.

Here is a story that happened about 6-7 years ago. One evening I went to the coop 10 feet away from the chain link fence, there are a family of coon about 4-5 (1 large, and some medium size). They are looking at me and laughing over the chain link fence. Well, that night I set up the live...

Wow! I wouldn't do it as I don't want to think when eating chicken eggs.

Best time to trap them is in the winter. You can use DIY pvc trap that small enough that they can't turn around inside the pvc.

Use live medium/large trap and get rid of it. Air rifle will do if you don't mine the wait and like little fun.
