    Duck pond tips

    Oh that’s true. As long as they are safe, I guess keeping it clean isn’t as important. The filter will keep it going i guess.

    My pond no more than 6 by 8 ft. It’s in the smaller side. I’ll just try to keep it moving more. I’m adding 2 more ducks to the group. Maybe plants will help ?

    Duck pond possibly with fish?

    Hi so we're thinking about getting fish with our duck pond. We have 2 ducks and 2 chickens. Our backyard is not too big but not too small. Our fear is that our ducks will eat all of the fish. Any solutions? And we live in Michigan, so any good fish breeds?
