three square feet Click to see full answer. In this regard, how many square feet do you need per duck?Ducks need a little more wiggle room than chickens. Allow about 4-6 square feet per bird in their duck house and 10-25 square feet per bird for the run. In our case, the house is 4 square feet per bird and the run is 20 square feet per bird.One may also ask, do ducks need a lot of space? In the pen or run, you’ll want a minimum of 15 square feet per duck. That’s a bit more than is recommended for chickens. That is mostly because ducks have a larger wingspan and they need more room to flap and waddle. It is also because you’ll need space for a small kiddie pool as well. Hereof, what do ducks need in their coop? Ducks don’t need much inside the coop; just a soft layer of straw will do. With chickens, food and water are often provided inside the coop, but for ducks, it’s best to keep those outside. And, if you want ducklings, you need a body of water – mating occurs only in open water.Do ducks go into coop at night?Ducks are semi-nocturnal and very active at night unlike chickens. They emit lots of moisture when they breathe so if you keep them in your chicken coop at night, be sure that the coop is adequately ventilated to prevent a buildup of moisture which can cause respiratory issues in the hens.
