    Oh I understand completely, I wonder if day lilies would be a nice plant around the pond. we have what they call ditch day lilies that actually grow in water. I have some of them and they really do make nice clumps and bloom along time. the ducks don't mess with them at all.

    I don't have any but If I was you I'd go on the web site "The Pond Guy" they have listed every plant and if invasive or not. I like cat tails they grow in the ditches around here but I've never seen any along our river. and no I don't have any, my pond is a 100gal stock tank with pond goldfish...

    what about irises and cat tails? a friend gave me some water irises for my little pond that are over 5' tall now they bloom with yellow flowers in the spring and are so pretty, of course I had to take them out of my small pond and planted them in the drainage ditch that's over flow for our wet...

    I'm thinking your ducks will be dining on snakes once they get big enough. also frogs, lizards and anything else they can get in their mouths.

    Interesting, I guess I watched to much Crocodile Hunter when he was alive because I just pick them up and carry them down the driveway when I have chicks and ducklings around, I do let my dh take care of the poisonous ones though. But I will say this we have some big ole black snakes some 6' and...

    I guess capturing it some how?? since your in Va it could be poisonous but it maybe harmless too. look up the difference because we like our snakes they keep down the rodent pop and when you have feed sitting out your going to have rodents. Even when putting it up over night. Blk snakes are...

    I have no idea just from reading here where posters have had to deal with them, some kind of large hook with meat on it but I'll try to find some info. and I guess you just keep setting the hook till none take the bait. if you have a swamp close by and don't want to eat them that maybe the place...

    Unless private property I'd say yes. or government land. Let us know what you find. Congrats on the ducklings your going to have so much fun with your son.

    That pond is just beautiful. First thing you need to do while ducklings are getting big enough to be at the pond is turtle eliminating snappers mostly they will bite off feet and also kill young ducks and ducklings, so if you have them I recommend they go first also large mouth bass will eat...
