Some people want their duck ponds to look like swimming pools. That is an unrealistic expectation unless you have the time, money, energy, and space to commit to dealing with a big filtration system. I have a small one that is meant only to keep the pump from clogging up. I empty and refill my...
My chicks wanted out of their brooder. They chirped and yelled and flapped and all that jazz. They just couldn't stand it. I let them out... and....they both fell asleep on the heating pad. Lol and after their nap they started taking a "dust bath" on the blanket. Ah babies.
