My duck coop is nothing much, it is basically just 4 large fence panels that are wrapped in chicken wire, buried in the ground, wired and paneled over the top, so completely pretatotor proof. Otherwise, I have a small hunt in the corner, with some cardboard behind it, up against the fence panel, to give them some privacy, and some "walls" on there little hut. I also have some milk crates, an old hanging feeder cylinder, and a mini A-frame, made up of some old storage bin lids, as extra nest boxes. They usually lay under the A-frame, which is the same spot were three when broody for 4 months and obviously never hatched anything. So. I clean the bedding around ounce a week, and after about 3 days it's back to smelling gross, and the shavings/hay is all grey and poopy looking. I am wondering if anyone has any tips on how to keep it clean, or how to advance the nesting boxes so that it stays clean longer? We recently created another duck house, with the same design, because the one house wasn't big enough, so we separate the flock at night, in both coops. I can provide pictures in a minuet, thanks, everyone! Avery
Ps. I don't know i fit matters, we separate our ducks from our chickens since our broody hatched ducklings after the 4 month fiasco, so we have 3 chickens living with the ducks, to separate them from or rooster, who is so abscessed with them mating wise, that it is better for them to be separate.
