I combined many ideas from videos and posts online to fit exactly what we needed for the two rescues that we have.
What this duck coop includes:
- Duck house with vinyl flooring for easy clean up.
- Ventilation at the top and on the back door of the house.
- Sliding duck house door for safety at night and during colder months.
- 3 doors - 2 large enough for me to reach in to clean, and 1 for duck access to the deck and the ramp to our pond.
- Small in-coop pond made from concrete mixing tub. Cut hole for sink drain and ran PVC plumbing for water drainage onto my pond plants.
- Pitched roof.
- Auto-filling duck waterer made with float valve and two drains plugs.

Take your time and explain how you completed the watering system. People like myself think it's a great idea, but need to understand how you did it. Slow it down so we can duplicate your success. I'm going to use it. You will get more likes and viewers. Good Luck Youtubing.

You will regret putting the water where they sleep. They can’t swim in that whole but they will get the water out of there and turn the sleeping area into a poopy wet mess. Also I know you said you haven’t had a issue with hawks. But they will come and you don’t want to learn by losing a duck. Get the cheap netting to cover over your outside pond. Good job on first coop for ideas. But I beg you to cover the pond, there is much run away room for them so learn from a mistake I made please

I bought a restaurant bus (for dishes) tub online and simply cut a hole in the middle for a sink drain and then connected the pvc plumbing accordingly!

What float valve are you using in your waterer?
@jacobs_fitness
@jacobs_fitness 4 года назад
Sean Sloan I used this one with a hose adapter: www.ebay.com/itm/1-2-Adjustable-Float-Valve-w-Garden-Garden-Hose-Adapter-USA-Seller/164172038878?hash=item26396a82de:g:SVcAAOSw~jxb0NgT

That ramp is too tall for ducks
@jacobs_fitness
@jacobs_fitness 4 года назад
Down To Earth Construction thank you for your input! I went with the recommended specs I found from multiple sources which said that a 1/3 slope is the maximum. My coop is elevated 3 feet, so my ramp is 9 feet. And my ducks have no trouble at all!

Looks awesome. Very creative. We recently got ducks. And I went through a similar process. It would very helpful (humble request) to post a short update vid with progress and lessons learned and regular maintenance. I found alot of my cool ideas changed once the ducks provided the reality! For example, we didnt realize how water messy they truly are until we experienced it for ourselves. Thanks.

I definitely will! I have made plenty of adjustments since filming the first video! Thank you for the feedback 👌🏼

Hi there, when you can a flow valve, what does that mean? I’m building a duck house and it sounds like you have some great ideas. I’d like to understand better.
@jacobs_fitness
@jacobs_fitness 3 года назад
Hey Mike! A float valve is a hose valve that uses a floating bulb to cut off the water source when the water line gets to a specific height. I use it inside the PVC tube to auto-fill the ducks water when it gets low or when I clean and refill it. Let me know what other questions you have and I am happy to help!

@jacobs_fitness
@jacobs_fitness 3 года назад
That’s a great idea - next level of what I chose. The laminate has held up well, but it’s definitely getting moisture underneath. I might get 2-3 years out of it but we’ll see 🤷🏻‍♂️

This is awesome. How many ducks do you have??
@jacobs_fitness
@jacobs_fitness 3 года назад
Only 2! I could probably make it with 4 max! Probably only 3 if they were domestics but I could easily have 4 mallards in the house. I have a mallard and a buff so they are a perfect fit for it. It’s like their private penthouse! And contrary to popular belief, they don’t mind the incline or the ramp AT ALL. ❤️

It's a good idea for predator control; most predators are ground based: skunks, possum in the USA, small dogs, coyotes, fox, and even the occasional barn cat.

"Hardware cloth"; when he said "chicken wire" I almost choked. You can also source used const. safety panel fencing which will slow down even bears for a while, and I have bears where I am!!

Haha thanks for the correction...I’m a first time builder that doesn’t know all the right ‘vocabulary.’ But I’m sure my ideas and video will still offer people some help 🤙🏼
@thedwightguy

@@jacobs_fitness "chicken wire" basically lets every predator in; hardware cloth slows most of them down. It's a little more expensive, but replacing poultry is lots more money, eh?

@jacobs_fitness 3 года назад
@@thedwightguy I used hardware cloth, but used the terminology incorrectly when making the video. You can clearly see it in the video. Just sharing a video on RU-vid because I’m extremely proud of my work as a first timer! 🤷🏻‍♂️ Thanks again for your input brother! 😄
