What a wonderful video! I wish there was more people in this world like you. My daughter has 25 muscovy ducks as pets. She loves and holds each one of them. Your video has inspired me to build duck houses for them. Right now we put them in chain link kennels with swimming pools at night- with electric fencing around the entire perimeter. There are otters and coyotes that have taken our ducks, too, when we didn't encourage them to go in at night. We make sure they're in now. Thanks for posting!
i think its great how much effort you put in for you ducks but they only need a shelter in extreme weather. a small doghouse would have done the trick. also if you want to keep the pond clean you need a much larger pond and stronger pump. i would try 3 barrels of that size that pour into each other to keep the water somewhat clean, loaded with aquatic plants. i find that its easier just to drain a 50 gallon stock tank on a regular basis and use the old water to fertilize my garden. andgoodluck
You're right on all counts. Now I drain to the yard since the barrel doesn't work well. As for the dog house, that would probably work as long as there was a door that closed since we have a lot a predators. We have already lost two ducks because they have gotten left outside. Now I make sure they are in every night.
nice job looks like some happy birds, and your daughter is a cute kid, I just baught some chickens and some ducks I live in the country with a large pond but never own any animals accept some dogs, so this is all a bit new for me, thanks for sharring your project, I loved the automatic door, God bless.
That is great that you have made such a nice habitat for your ducks.

Well, this duck house is way over-built, so it cost more than it needed to. I would say the cost with the electric door was approximately $500 USD

Hi everyone,
Here are a few updates.
1) The duck pond filter does not work. It just gets clogged up with gunk.
2) The ducks sometime don't go in at night because they like hanging out under the house. Next time I'll build the house directly on the ground.

None of the wood is treated. I just painted it and the tin roof keeps the water off.
