    Kiddie Pools - Does size matter - I think it does

    Yup they pile in at night (all the ducks but two are automatic two linger - they will learn) I went with Ador for the door because it works as is but when we build the super house we will be able to set up other options. I get 13 ducks in an 8x6. when I build the new one it will be 8x10 plus a...

    Kiddie Pools - Does size matter - I think it does

    Exactly why I found 3' is better than 6' for the kiddie pools. The stock tanks are tough enough to flip when they have 800-1000 lbs of water and they are easy to plumb. 3' kiddie pools you can flip with 100 lbs of water (by the time the ducks are done with it) then set it down 10 feet from...

    Kiddie Pools - Does size matter - I think it does

    Quote: These are the same as what I was calling stock tanks, and I agree. Once you know what you want and where, I would go stock tank all the way (or even better an actual pond). But stock tanks cost around 3-5 times as much as a kiddie pool vs their size. They are worth it if you are...

    Kiddie Pools - Does size matter - I think it does

    BTW, in case any of you think I am insane for having that little coop with 13 ducks, the little coop I bought when I got my first two ducks. They went through an entire winter and never used it even at -30F. When all my ducklings grew up the next spring they explored it and they now have great...

    Kiddie Pools - Does size matter - I think it does

    No on snap sets too. I had a snap set that I used as a brooder base (put the walls inside it and it worked great). But when the ducklings were out of the brooder, I tried to use it as a pool. The ducks walk up the sides and slash it with their claws. The molded pools that you can get outside...

    Kiddie Pools - Does size matter - I think it does

    All my ducks but one (a Welsh Harlequin) spend most of the time in the water. They are all different breeds and they group up kind of randomly. They really like the stock tank which is only 100 gallons, but it is deep but it is in one of the two gazebos I have. I have a second tank, but still...

    Kiddie Pools - Does size matter - I think it does

    Hello once again. With only one half of a summer behind me, I am going to pretend I know something about kiddie pools. So keep in mind I haven't figured everything out, but I have some observations for anyone who hasn't crossed this road yet. Like most duck owners, I am sure, the grand...
