Duck House Construction
Keeping the panels individually separted creates areas for the individual bird flocks to be separted and kept extra clean. The bottom is raised up about a foot and individually filled with coated 1/4 inch wire. We still use the deep litter method here it is modified to allow the underside to be vented to allow air to pass underneath to help with the deep litter not molding too much. Water tends to be the biggest problem I see in other buildings, keeping it of the ground allows for the structure to dry out quicker.
ABOUT THE FLOORS
Raising ducks requires building a place for them to get locked away at night so predators especially raccoons cant get them, our structure can hold 25 ducks with separated pens and about 10 nesting boxes.
The floor and roof are the most important part of a duck house.The floor must be free of any obstacles they can trip on.
