On Good Friday morning we decided to do a major cleaning of the mudroom. With the ducks and kittens living in there it was getting a little hectic. When everything was all nice and clean smelling and neatly re-packed I decided I didn't want the ducks back in there. They are getting so big and they are MESSY and STINKY, even though they spend the majority of the day outdoors.
So when DH got home from work we went to work on building a temporary duck house in the dog run attached to the chicken coop. We used hay bales, a section of a cattle panel for the roof support and a tarp. It actually makes a pretty nice little shelter!

It's actually surprising warm in there. Nice and protected and as long as we keep their water OUT of their shelter area it should stay relatively dry.
Once we have our big chicken coop built, the current chicken coop will become the duck house. That's not too far off now, so this will do nicely until then.
Oh.. and the ducks are starting to QUACK! Love it!
