- Our five Pekin ducks outgrew the brooder and are pushing all the little chicks around and making a mess with the food and water in the small brooder pen. So in this video, I build a duck coop with a deck and pool.
Channel Page: / @tennhens
Just about completed my first little duck “shelter” I’d hardly call it a house. But Shake and Bake love it so far. Hopefully that continues
Can you post it on youtube pls i wanna see
Love the pond in the deck idea! Much cheaper and faster than trying to dig a pond 😅
It looks really nice. I like the idea of having a drain at the bottom of the "pool".
Pretty straight forward design. I like that you look to be using what is lying around, not new. Sometimes you have to, but why if not.
Heck yeah! On the farm I have to buy wood for projects all the time. It’s awesome when something can come together out of almost all scrap 🙌🏼 this was fencing and decking scrap. Thanks for the note.
When you said your going to make a quick duck house that’s was far more better than I’ve even imagined let alone aspected
I love how you're like "Oh, I need to make a quick duck shelter" and literally go all crazy carpenter to build this thing...hahaha
😁
I did the same thing when I decided that the pool ought to be elevated on a dock to reduce ground trample and mudding. I'm also working on an experimental gravity feed water filtration system to reuse/conserve and repurpose the pool water. That way when I refresh the pool it can be filtered for a second use and/or filtered and ran off into one the summer vegetable garden plots on either side of the enclosure. I'm actually heading out to the duck yard right now! Country Life😌
Man- you move so fast. It’s like almost superhuman.
That's a kick-ass workshop!!!
Thanks Linda!
I want a duck house like that for my ducks! Oh my gosh is that awesome!!
I feel like this is a common theme in farming / homesteading: "I didn't expect things to progress so quickly and now I need to do this thing NOW!!" Sorry, I laugh because I find myself saying this ALL THE TIME. :D
Right!? completely agree.
Oooooh yeah haha
Yes!!! 😂 This is a very common theme here at our Homestead as well. Were always feeling like we're falling behind on all projects. Building fences at 2 am cause we'll, it's gotta be done cause we bought more goats or gotta build another chicken tractor and recently up until 2 am building a duck run. Lol Hence why I am watchujng this video for a better duck run. Haha!! Glad to know we're not the only ones.
Accurate
GREAT VIDEO ! Ive looked for videos on how to build a duck run and the people just ramble thanks again
Great job! Can you show a tutorial on how to install the drain and valve on the pool. I would like to be able to drain my ducks pool but need to see the parts I need and how to install it. Thanks!
Duck houses need ventilation 1sq ft per every 10sqft of floor. They need 4-6sqft per duck of floor space. They put off a lot of moisture when they breathe, which causes mold and bacteria to grow and a lot of times they get pneumonia. They're good down to 20 degrees before you need to have a heat source
Thx for making this vid u gave me some good ideas on what I should build for my ducks
I've got the same story lol! Grew way faster and had to scramble in the rain to build their house 😅
Love idea is pond on deck. Not sure if others mentioned but the hardware cloth much safer for keeping predators out
Ducks need more ventilation... they do not need heat like chickens, after feathering out. They are much more robust than chickens... Chicken wire will keep them in, but not any determined predator out, raccoon, dog, fox, coyote.... ( I raise them)...Nice work, but mostly mine ignore houses, except for the runners when it is below freezing... everyone else prefers to be outside , next to the water buckets or ponds...
Great feedback, thank you!
Both our muscovies and runner ducks head inside their house for the night
Duck Eggs are the best!!!
I’m liking this video because of the last cute duck that “honked” at the end. She was saying goodbye 😭
Great work!
You did an amazing job -YOUR DUCKS ARE VERY LUCKY TO HAVE SOMEONE TAKING SUCH GOOD ❤ CARE of them🐣🐤🐥with an amazing setup👍
Thank you! I am building our new chicken coop now. Stay tuned!!!! 👌🏻
ماشاءاللہ ❤️
Beautiful ❤️
This is great! I'm a huge fan of this build. I hope to do this
Nice
Awesome! That will be a fun project for me
Awesome work !!
The duck deck is such a clever idea! I wonder if you ended up putting in the drain. I'll look for a follow up video on your channel. Thank you for sharing!
Some kind of plans or dimensions would have been nice but great idea looks good. Fantastic idea on the drain 4 the pond.
You did not just build a hot tub for your ducks...great build, man!
Great duck house. Ducks like more cross stick on their ramp, or they slip.
Nice design.
This is a great build. Need to do this.
oh yea, smart move on putting two pieces instead of one long piece to help make cutting the circle easy, nice!
Thank you!
Really nice duck house!!
Great video.
I like it looks pretty good
My favorite!
Fancy duck house is it on AIRBB? 💕💕😂😂🦆🦆🦆🦆
Woww it is so beautiful this small house for your ducks. I'd like to build one for new born ducks but I do not know what the dimensions is better. So according to your experience which dimensions in meters do you suggest me? Thank you so much and Greetings from Colombia.
This is the coolest thing ever
Wowwww. Its so cool. ❤❤❤
Do ducks need air vents for air flow like chickens? I love this "quick" build you did haha
Hey, this is quite awesome. I was wondering if I could get the specs for this? I work for an assisted living/rescue farm and we have some Ducks that would love this.
Great job! I love the raised deck. I plan to do this with a 3” pvc drain with a cap at the end of thenleangth of the pipe so I don’t have to put my hand in the pool. Did the ducks just lay on the ground of do you have a nesting box?
Great idea
Great great duck house
Thank you Annie!
That heat lamp will kill those ducks. Fully feathered their body temperatures are around 105. All they need is some bedding and a couple ventilation vents. I would have put the pond on the ground and cut a hole in the side and plugged it with a cork for drainage. It is a great design though.
what no cable tv🦆🦆🦆🤣🤣🤣
Could you maybe give me some dimentions of the house so I can replicate it please? Also maybe an estimate on how much it costs to build it? if you could respond soon that will be great!!!
Pretty nice
I used a similar pond but my Pekin ducks can’t get out. How do your ducks get out of the pond? Do you have something placed inside the pond for them to step on?
Cool
Can you post material list and instructions?
So you have the print/steps how to build? I love it and would really like to build one for my ducks
Awesome! I love it.
Can you tell me the footprint (dimensions) of your duck house? It seems like the perfect size.
Looks good! :)
thanks
A duck house for display? Not for business....just playing house..😁
There are several factors in doing a pro job. One resource I discovered which successfully combines these is the coop magic tactic (check it out on google) definately the most incredible info that I have ever seen. Check out this amazing site.
what are the measurements of the house please ?
What are the dimensions of that duck house? How many ducks does it house?
Muito lindo 😄😄😄
senhor galo Zé I don’t know what you said but, thank you!
Tenn Hens Lindo means pretty in Portuguese
i built my ducks a house and they will not get in it what can i do? and what can i add to the pool i have for them from turning green
Did you put the hay on the floor? Thanks
Is this still a working duck house? Any modifications? Thanks for the video.
TH-cam subtitle: [Music] [Laughter] [ L A U G H T E R] "you" [Applause]
I use the hay for bedding it get wet very quickly do you know anything better than hay? Thanks
Can you give me the plan for this it is great
I love your duck house! Do you build those for people to buy? I would love to buy one from you!
This is great!
Thank you huskypaws 🙏
What are the measurements?
What type of ducks are they please?
Sooo cooool
What’s the instructions to build up this
I was looking at getting two ducks, I was wondering how big I should make the coop, pen, and run. The breed of duck I was looking at were the khaki cambell
I really love this house. I just got ducks myself. Is there anyway you can send me a blueprint ?
It is cute, but it wasn't framed properly. Make sure you add joists even where the plywood will overhang to prevent it from warping. And please, please, please use TREATED LUMBER.
Where can I buy a pool like that?
How do you make you duck pen
For nutriction duck. AZOLLA microphyla. Duckweed. Wolffia arrhiza. Azolla and duckweed can production 400 toneladas/ano/hectare.
Nice job! Do you find, for the most part, that your ducks all lay their eggs in this house? I have some lay boxes for my ducks but they hardly ever use them and lay their eggs anywhere and every where.
Yes, they just make their own nest anywhere and lay. Mostly in the house yea.
How much $ was this to build?
How about adding rain gutters to collect your own rain water for your ducks?
Heck yea! I totally did that and made a video of it! Check it out. th-cam.com/video/2H9lTsNBXo8/w-d-xo.html
Good idea 💡 totally going to try that
Do it!
how much do you think the wood would cost to build this? I currently have a duck house that I build a few months ago and it isnt holding up too well. Thanks!
yep nice work. Ducks look happy lol
Heck yea they do!!! 😃
That is cool as shit!
What pond is that?
Have you given any thought to using a filter system so you don't have to dump the water all the time?
Any ideas?
I totally understand. My ducklings have multiplied in size many times over in the 3 short weeks that we've had them. I had hoped to house the poultry together, but I now realize that the ducks are far too messy to live with the little "fluffy" silkies and I've been trying to come up with an idea for a swimming area that's functional and not too tremendous a burden to clean. I like the idea of a drain and I think we'll try to do something similar. The elevated pool seems like a good idea also & with the little deck around it, probably less messy also. How is it working out?
This is awesome! Those ducks are getting huge! Do you have plans or measurements for this?
Not really no I just kinda winged it. The box about 2' X 4'
Can u make me one. ;)
Right? I am still wishing for the mad skills to surface..i simply screw a few pallets together, and add hinges 🙄
How will you keep it cool in the summer?
I put an oversized door opening on the front for good ventilation and so a duck can come in wile one goes out. They are only in the house at night and it’s never been an issue.
Hi, I'm getting ducklings and I wanted to know if I need a permit to keep them. Please respond!
Bren and aud Adventures NO as long as you have enough room to raise them
thank you for the heart
Not in TN at least. I don’t think 🤔 you do anywhere except maybe within and HOA. Good luck Ben and Aud 👍🏻 let me know if you have any more duck questions. They don’t need grit like chickens they dip their food into water to help them eat it. That’s something I didn’t know at first and knowing that might help you plan out your setup 🐥
how much did this cost?
How much can I pay you to make my ducks one of those?
How did you get your Ducks to go into to house?
They just went in on their own actually. The chickens went into the coop and the ducks went into this house. I think some of the chickens went into the duck house but the ducks kicked them out. It’s crazy how they just know. Also the duck house is low to the ground so it’s really the only place where the ducks can go.
$10,000 in lumber in 2021
i would really love for my duck to have a house like that. They currently live in a dog cage.
One of our chickens is in a dog crate right now as well. Little egg eating punk.
What gag was your nail gun ?
Oh, can’t remember off the top of my head. It’s a small trim nailer.
Ok would you say more 16 or 33
everything looks real good except for the pool it is way to small looks like there is room for only one at a time and they are social animals and will want to be together...
Totally agree!
way to many pekins in a little house
