Hi Everyone,
I'm sure these questions have been asked a thousand times, but I can't find a thread dedicated to it.
We are moving to the suburbs, and have been planning on getting ducks for years, but this spring, it'll be a reality, as we've just closed on a home.
The garden will be around .20, I'm planning on converting an old shed on the property to a duck house (like a miniature barn looking thing), and installing a secure run for the ducks.
The pond is our big problem. We're planning on getting a landscaper in, to fix up the entire garden, as it's just open space at the moment.
The entire garden won't be dedicated to the ducks, as we do want some garden for ourselves and the kids etc.
The plan is to do something like put the shed at the bottom right hand corner of the garden, a run, going along to another shed in the bottom hand corner and a small duck pond in the middle. We're planning on getting three at most, although, everyone keeps telling me, that will change lol.
The filtration system we didn't think would be a big problem, but from reading everyone's posts on it, it's not as easy as we thought, and we can't find a landscaper who has any insight on it. If anyone knows a landscaper in the NY area with this kind of experience, please send them my way!!
Any suggestions on what we can do? We want it to be ascetically pleasing, as well as function for the ducks.
