Provide Sufficient Coop Space

Solution

Ensure the duck house (coop) offers at least 4 square feet of floor space per duck.

Explanation

While ducks often prefer sleeping outdoors, they need a safe, sheltered space to retreat from predators and extreme weather. Adequate space prevents overcrowding, reduces stress, and helps manage moisture and waste.

Notes

More space is always better, especially for larger breeds or if ducks are confined for extended periods.
