We currently have a chicken coop and a duck hutch in our backyard. Since they have been together since birth and get along very well, we have decided to build a run between the 2 houses that will be about 8 feet long. My question is since we live in the pacific NW, should this run be covered to...

I'm new to this whole duck thing, so I have a few questions! I know there are ways to encourage free range chickens to lay eggs in their coop. Are there ways to encourage ducks to do the same? We let the ducks roam our yard, but I prefer not to have to go on an egg hunt everyday. Any ideas?
