    'TAME' Mandarin Ducks

    And the pumps are inside the far back that has hinged lids for easy access. The deck is made of ipe wood. Thought I should mention that there is absolutely zero smell, just the sounds of a little running water that come from beneath the deck floor

    'TAME' Mandarin Ducks

    Thank you. The koi pond will never freeze due and stay in low 40s during cold months due to the the house heat / cooling. Fresh water dispenses from that into the pond all year round. We also provide shelter and an automated feeder year round.
