Yep! They have a pool as well as drinking water.

I just relocated from Missouri to central Florida with my two ducks, a rouen and a silver appleyard. While it does get hot in Missouri summers, I want to make sure they’ll be ok here in the 90+ degree heat and humidity. The reason I’m worried is because today they’ve been standing at my back...
