"I now own two of these houses for my eight ducks I have found through the first year of having this that it was extremely durable, reliable, easy to clean. The ducks are help, healthy, and comfortable in these houses. I highly recommend them also easy to put together."

"Please, please, please do Not Purchase this!!! If I could give it a negative infinity I would. Horrible design... impossible to put the roof on properly unless you're an octopus, roosting bars break, leaks, won't latch properly, bedding gets stuck in cracks, poor ventilation, starts to fall apart ..."
