Belindachick Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Hello all, I have read on here that plastic dog kennels are good for housing ducks, My question is would a plastic storage shed be good too? it has 2 opening doors and side vents. I want to house 2 campbells. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Yes that would be ideal make sure ventilation is good you may have to drill some holes if its not(although you mention vents) but fine any flat floored secure (from foxes Rats) would be good. Tip raise it off floor ie on bricks or slabs to stop rodents digging under (just a few inches off ground)Rats will chew. Sounds perfect indie goodluck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belindachick Posted September 10, 2009 Author Share Posted September 10, 2009 have now ordered thank you so much for your reply, i have also orderded a childs plastic paddling pool too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Perfect the paddling pool will be easy to tip out as it will need a cleaning regularly. They dont need a lake just a few inches of water to duck under(literally) good luck indie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henriette Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Hi I have a pair of mallards who also have a plastic paddling pool which they share with the two geese. It works really well. It does need moving regularly though as the little darlings like to puddle and beak in the damp patches around the pool. I also provide them with a large washing up bowl of water which I change daily as they like to have an early morning "clean water" dip!!! Maybe I am spoiling them, but they are such fun.... Hope your plastic shed works out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Any bowl will do baby bath etc..doesnt have to be big..in fact if its easy to tip out is more ideal for ducks(for cleaning purposes) When mine were small I used a big old fashioned jam making pan(it must be an antique belong to my long gone Nan)..she would be pleased Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
