Hi, everyone! I currently have 3 mallards: 2 females and a drake. I wanted mallards mainly because I wanted to see them FLY. I really enjoy the whole wings and flight aspect of birds. To me, it looks beautiful. We do have some chickens that have really impressed me as well...like our bantam...
LOL, BBQJOE. I'm just curious about the science behind the reappearing water. But yes I do want water in it... Just when I'm finished with the project. I have to keep emptying it to work on it. Just curious about the source of the water.
I have been working on a small backyard pond for some time now. It's about 4 feet at its deepest. I am not completely finished with it yet, and now I'm noticing something.

There was a mini stage/platform inside with stool-like seats...
I agree. And, I do see many ponds in our area, so I'm already quite confident that this is a good area to have one...but getting an excavator's opinion and tips and pointers from other pond owners would definitely be useful. I am just a beginner with a dream and have a lot to learn. Thank you...
Thank you, Michael! It's always fun to meet and chat with others who love ponds and share stories and experiences. From your avatar, it looks beautiful where you live. I do hope you have your pond again someday.
Well, where to start? Just a little bit to introduce myself...my wife and I and our 3 amazing children (daughter and 2 boys) live on a small farm in rural Ohio. We have about 3 acres...not quite as much land as we originally wanted but enough to have some animals and a LOT of fun.
