The ISIS Duck house
isis duck house designed for easy cleaning

 

 

This design evolved from the demand for a duck house which is simplicity itself to muck out. Ducks are VERY mucky !!!
Isis Duck house £205
Carriage : £28.00 (delivery surcharges may apply to some locations)

Size: 36" wide; 39" High; 45" deep

The number of ducks this holds depends on the breed but its high so is eminently suitable for Indian Runners, unlike many duck houses. It would take up to 15 Call Ducks, 10 Campbells, and 5 Saxony's or Muscovies.

Ducks go to bed wet every night as they prefer to stay on their pond as long as possible. They carry the water inside on their plumage, and settle down in their bedding. This is why its a really bad idea to keep chickens and ducks in the same house!
Most folks do not want or need to muck out every time the birds get their bed wet. Thats fine - the first thing that ducks do in the morning is get themselves thoroughly wet and clean in their pond. isis duck house with roof up
Using shavings, like Bedmax, Hemcore or Auboise its perfectly acceptable to top dress [add a little] the bedding for a while but its REALLY good to be able to get full access to the mucky mess when you do need to clean out. Hence the advantage of being able to take the whole side out of this model.

For catching birds it is much better to be able to get to them from the top so they do not scoot past you -- so the whole roof hinges from the front.
The Onduline roof is sheet timber mounted and hinged for access. Solid floor as standard. Pop-hole access for birds. The Isis has lots of ventilation, vital for ducks, all secured with weldmesh netting.

This house is ideal for people who want to free range their waterfowl or can be used in conjunction with a pen like our flexible run panels or, for raising young birds needing more protection from the elements, our covered run. This covered run is also a great solution to any Bird Flu lockdown situation. To protect ducks from daytime predators or neighbours dogs its easy to give them a bigger area using electric netting.
