$50 DIY Duck House / Coop (Easy Build)

[@modify1ful]

There are several diy-build-a-duck-coop vids but this is the one that got me through the project and helped me put together a good house for my ducks. I've watched it a few times and I'm so glad to have found it. Thank you for producing it. 🦆🦆 Cal and Dandelion say thanks too. (Well, not really but they would if they knew how invaluable this video was to them having a safe, dry, warm house.)

[@ellababali9730]

A tip I found to avoid the wood rotting at the bottom if you elevate the house with some wood

[@jocelynjones2245]

Thanks for the measurements so I can build this for our five backyard ducks might have to add a fan cause it gets hot even at night here. Love the family interaction too.

[@libertywisconsin1]

[@championphones855]

[@jules9373]

Klondike break and chair saw horses? That's how I roll ... subscribed!

[@sherriberkley188]

Love the idea for a duck house

[@patmog]

Great video, but I would always make the floor without an edge for easier cleaning (and ducks are messy, so I'd probably use plywood for the floor.

[@brianreyes4356]

I remember watching the videos for the pool pond and it was awesome! “Duck studio”

[@ren3206]

Looking to build our first ever ducklings home, love this idea. Now I just need to go back and write down the list. Lol.

[@championphones855]

[@edenb.8682]

Duck studio I feel late to draw since I havnt been able to video watch after spending so much time building! I always love yalls builds

[@elliecone9587]

Can you please share how many 2x4s and what size plywood/ how many sheets to purchase? How has it held up? Any changes you would make to eliminate root or increase air flow for the birds?

[@KeithRaynor]

5/9/24, I have ducks and chickens. Put small opening wire under and around edge to keep mice & rats from getting in and burrowing holes. I should have known better, I know have mice in my duck house and have to move it. Hope this helps future builders🥰

[@carlisspivey4444]

Awesome build, man. Hopefully you can get back to me, but what are the measurements for the plywood you used for the floor?

[@Skiddols]

I have a Muscovy and a chicken that live together just fine. Got two duck that are mixed breed that wont go in the coop if the chicken is in inside. Going to have to build an extension

[@andreatucker7132]

Duck house..what do u suggest if you have a pond..a little less than a pond acre and want to free range would I just shut it at night?

Thanks for the love, good luck

[@tommybojangles3897]

New sub, great job and your family is awesome! Duck Studio!

[@aundreamunt2158]

Do you have a list of materials & size cuts?

[@deborahvrtis4428]

Need better access to clean this out. Like the lid on hinges or something. Also, paint the bottom before installing it maybe? Good video but needs more DIY instructions for those of us newbies working with wood. Note: I may do this for a portable rabbit hutch with a run attached.

[@faithnimue1]

Looks great. How are you going to clean out the poop? Could hinge the roof...

[@HOUSEBILLINGS]

Hi Faith, we have the doors on hinges as shown in the video. Also the ducks have been great at sleeping in there and actually not going the bathroom in there.

[@coreyledin-bristol7068]

So building this this weekend! I am new to ducks. Mine or just babies right now. Question: What about ventilation? When they are closed in at night do they need ventilation? It gets hot and humid in Michigan. What do you suggest?

[@stephenconti1374]

I am going to follow this as a guide, but use 1/2" galvanized wire on two sides for ventilation instead of the wood siding.

[@jg6592]

Did you put skids or something similar to protect the bottom from the ground moisture?

[@pinkradish]

The beams that hold the roof. Are they cut at an angle to accommodate the slope in the roof?

[@VeryFairygirl14]

I would love to see a DIY green house vid

[@HOUSEBILLINGS]

Hey! Thanks for the comment, we do have a DIY green house build on here :) also you should subscribe to our brand new homestead channel we will be doing tons of videos like that soon! Our new channel is House Billings Homestead

[@HOUSEBILLINGS]

Here is the greenhouse we built it worked great. kzbin.info/www/bejne/sF6TYmZ7gs9sfas

[@onofrioclementi3830]

how does it keep moongoose from going in and killing the ducks or any other small preditor ?

[@snakeadventure6717]

Now days it’s like 150$ but can I add a heat lamp or heat sum how?

[@MiaMarie420]

Is there ventilation?

[@baldiboy]

This is great. Probably too late to win, but duck studio. Lol

[@kayliwells2853]

Would be much easier with a list

[@jorgerozon8602]

I legit cannot wait for the pool pond! Will you get new fish for it?

[@HOUSEBILLINGS]

The plan is to do way more fishing this year and hopefully catch someone that can go in there!

[@championphones855]

Duck studio!

[@chickchickmom1846]

Duck Studio!!!

[@carlismartinspivey8159]

Do you have like... Plans? Measurements? It'd be extremely helpful. Even like... A shopping list? Is it under $50? Or is it just less than $150? I have so many questions.

[@HOUSEBILLINGS]

Did you.. like watch the video.. then maybe like.. you wouldnt have so many questions? :)

[@ninacaparelli7681]

He isnt very clear on a shopping list, how many 2x4s how many sheets of osb... And the description does say $150..lol.. he's a dick

[@georgebeaudoin392]

Duck house looks great. Are you going to put vents in it?

[@HOUSEBILLINGS]

Oh yes for sure, we have since added a nice roofing system and a window

[@stuartmarkman769]

How do you expect too clean out all the duck poop and water proof the shed?

[@HOUSEBILLINGS]

We sealed everything with a non toxic clear coating

[@ladyofthenorth8560]

Duck studio! Love the build its super cute. Will you add windows and other features?

[@katrinarudolph-wise4009]

How do you clean it?

[@everettherrboldt2034]

For my pond I used a tractor tire and put a tarp under it

[@Calebknowsstuff]

Can I get a supply list? 😺

[@veraprodanic1076]

Hi....what’s the size of the screws you’re using?

[@limodrivermike]

how is the clean out chore going with that design?

[@HOUSEBILLINGS]

Not bad at all thank you. They really only use it to sleep and they have rarely gone the bathroom in it

[@limodrivermike]

@@HOUSEBILLINGS thank you

[@ireneramos698]

Duck Studio

[@erikamohn2143]

Do you plan on doing anything on the exterior? OSB will get wrecked by water really quickly and can't be left exposed to the elements. I saw that your chicken house is the same, with OSB on the exterior. Painting it will help a tiny bit, but it will still be completely destroyed within a year or so.

[@HOUSEBILLINGS]

Hey Erika thanks for reaching out. We used sealant on the chicken coop to protect the OSB and will do the same for the duck house as well. We are also going to be putting roofing on as well to help keep a lot of the rain/snow away. Very good points you made though thank you again

[@fernandawee2769]

I heard the duck house will need to have water access. Does your DIY duck house have water for the ducks at night?

[@ruthnmike4ever]

Is it easy to clean out.?

[@sherriberkley188]

My duck loves spinach

[@piercejenkins5603]

Very cool build! I always wanted ducks, how are they overall as pets? Duck Studio

[@HOUSEBILLINGS]

Lol where to begin.. they are loud, messy and obnoxious hahaha but other than that we love them

[@gregorysimpson6393]

We live in N.C. Where are you! Like the Duck studio , cool Duck’s we have Muscovy’ s the Simpson Greg a Sue

[@HOUSEBILLINGS]

We are up north in CT

[@anniekittrell9419]

How many ducks will sleep there?

[@nikkigilbert1315]

Duck studio

[@cynthiajarvis7093]

How easy is it to clean? What about nesting boxes?

[@HOUSEBILLINGS]

They only have been sleeping in there so its not very messy, they dont need nesting boxes like chickens they dont care and will lay eggs anywhere lol. I pick up eggs every day all over the place

Apologies for the confusion I said updates in newer videos. Not an official update video yet because it’s not finished. Here is a good one where you can see a bit of what we’ve done. kzbin.info/www/bejne/a6bYeYuEosaCqaM thanks for watching.
