Small Wood Duck House

Dimensions: 17"high x 7-1/2"wide x 15"deep

Wood duck boxes are most successful when placed over water but can also be place in woodland habitat up to half-a-mile from open water and should be mounted on a post 6-8' high with the entrance hole facing south or west. Protecting previously used nests is very important. Once successful, a female will nest in the same cavity year after year.
"Dump nesting" occurs when a number of females lay eggs in a single house, which sometimes results in clutches with over 70 eggs. Mississippi State University did a study of Wood Ducks in an effort to reduce this problem. A smaller nest box was designed and "dump nesting" was reduced. Although fewer ducklings are fledged from each box, the survival rate is improved and the cost per fledgling is less. This box comes with a wire ladder and nesting chips, and the front opens for observation and cleaning.
