I don't have ducks...yet. but this is the poop door we built into our chicken coop to make cleaning it a bit easier. Ground level would be ideal but it sometimes isn't feasible depending on your topography.

I also added a storage area inside my coop on one side since I don't have anywhere to store supplies and stuff.

I've got to get my husband to help cut out a poop door on our coop, great idea. I got a coop from the neighbor last fall-going out to clean my coop right now and I don't have a poop door. So I have to scoop & scrape everything out. Having a problem getting my hens out. My hubby says they'll get out when I start cleaning, they all want to know what I'm doing and are all around my feet, lol. I may have to do another big cleaning after this, I want to put sand down. Heard it's healthier on their feet. All I have right now is wood chips & straw. Will post a pic, we haven't been able to paint, yet. So it'll be a before pic.

I have a 10 x 20 and keep 10 chickens and built a 6 x 4 holding pen waiting for me to build another 10 x 20.
The lights are an exterior set from Harbor Freight @ $20.
Where the tarp is was my biggest mistake as I should have planned for and installed a rigid roof. I'm in south Florida where the sun can be brutal and the rain heavy. I'll be putting up galvanized sheeting soon. $75 home depot.
The holding pen is my 3 Brahmas the little one in front is my roo, he's 3 weeks and the two hens are 8 weeks.
I'm gleefully growing monsters!!

I would not use sand. I have read on Fresh Eggs Daily(blog/books) that is can be bad to eat. For ducks and chickens. I will post a link and maybe it will help you find a good choice for bedding. The link below is called pine vs shavings, but will get into good things to use for bedding. Good luck!!!!

Lots of people use sand. Some of her advice is inconsistent with what others have had success with. She is after all a blogger first and now has a following so has written a few books.
