Do your ducks put themselves in at night POLL

[Nifty-Chicken]

We've got a small lot and no pond. Our old ducks were very happy with their digs, and put themselves in at night but unfortunately coons got in once and killed them

Ok. Just so long as I'm not being an idiot.

Sometimes you don't know. Now I know you should move to NC... there is so much land here in the east they are begging people to buy....you could have acres and acres and a pond!

Hi! Only one of 15 grown ducks here goes *willingly* in a coop at night. That one was a single duckling raised with chicks and still goes to bed when the chickens do.

Many people here don't have one acre ponds for their birds to escape to. The property to the back of us has a coyote den, I saw a fox the other day sneaking along the perimeter of our fence, and the raccoons our here are a nuisance since there was a neighbor that fed them for over 12 years before she moved out. The only way I can keep our ducks safe is to lock them up at night. I would be a bad duck mom if I didn't.

Ours never want to go in! They even sleep in the run instead of house laying with their bodies touching the door, lol.
