Ensure Ground-Level Access

Solution

Design the coop entrance at ground level or provide a low-angle, wide ramp.

Explanation

Ducks do not roost like chickens and are not adept climbers. They need easy, waddle-in access to their shelter. Steep ramps are difficult and potentially dangerous for them.

Notes

A ramp should have cleats or high-traction surface, especially if it might get wet.
