    Kiddie pool pond

    Hello everyone, I just got three geese last week (they're 9 weeks old now) and I live on a property with a rather crappy well, so we haven't been able to make a pond yet. Until a pond is made, I've given them a deep kiddie pool that is large enough for them all to play and splash in. They have...

    Duck Pool Mess!

    Hey yall!!:wee I’ve got two duckies that love the water and I have a little pool for them but they make such a mud mess (with the water splashing and digging holes) and it kills the grass. This wouldn’t be a problem except their pen isn’t very big. I move it every once in a while so they get...

    Hen fell in pool

    My hen fell in our swimming pool and was in there for almost an hour. I am in Florida, so it’s not very cold but definitely cool enough to cause hypothermia. She was floating when we found her, she seemed exhausted. We put her on a heating pad and put her in a box in a dark quiet room. She is...

    Not sure how to remedy this….

    So I have a dilemma. We have 2 mallard ducks and today their kiddy pool sprung a leak somewhere. We live in Wyoming and it’s currently winter so finding a new kiddy pool in December is impossible!! I was wondering about some ideas that I could try so they can still take their baths that they oh...

    Dirty water concentrate.

    So after a few days of swimming, I sump pump the dirty water out and into the plants. The pump turns off with about 2-4 inches of water still present. My question is whether it is okay to fill the pool back up for continued pool time or, what I have been doing, use a bucket to toss the remaining...

    My ducks GO FISHING!! 😍

    Hey fellow duck lovers! I gave my eight week old Welsh Harlequin ducks some feeder fish in their pool for the first time as a special treat and they definitely loved it! I really enjoyed watching them "go fishing" myself so maybe the treat was really mine 🥰🥰 How do you spoil your ducks? ❤

    Mallard Babies preferring pool to pond

    Hi y’all. Adopted some Mallard babies in March. Specifically sought Mallards out so they’d have a little more defense. They were raised by the house in a pen, but we moved the pen down about 50 yards next to the pond a couple weeks ago when they were fully feathered. Next to our house is my...

    Nesting behavior?

    Lately my grey pom has been putting all sorts of non edibles in the pond. For example: mulch, pine needles, rocks, shells, mud...you get the picture. She/he doesnt seem to be eating it or even taste testing it...just adding it to the water like it's a giant pot of soup. Could this be its...

    Do Chickens Like to Get Into Water?

    I have a container that is low to the ground for my chicken to drink from. I have never seen her do it, but it looks like she may actually get into the container from time to time. I say that because there is constantly a lot of dirt and sand in the bottom of the container, and it's not in a...

    Do you help your birds keep cool?

    My bigger birds learned about the delights of wading in water to cool off but my younger birds are staying under the low, bushy palms when temps hit 95 degrees. I just ordered this mister and I'm going to set it up over that palm. Have you tried a mister or do you have any other techniques for...

    Duck coop space and pool ideas?

    We are in the process of splitting our ducks and chicks before they fully mature. We have a duck enclosure plan but want to make sure our space is appropriate for them. We have 7 ducks. The indoor space we will have is about 10'x3' by 3' high. The run area has more option but currently planned...

    Ducklings and pine pellets

    So, as anyone has raised ducks know, they are mess. Right now I am housing 8 bantams and 4 Indian runners in a brooder pool. Plenty of space, and lots of cuddling. I clean the pool twice a day because of the water (i have a good setup for that. But you know, ducks ) Can you use pine pellets in...

    And now...Chicken sized swimming pool with diving board...

    Went out of town and spouse had a little fun in the spirit of sending me a picture to make me laugh, so I though BYCers would enjoy a picture of some very pampered chickens with their own pool, diving board, and deck chair. Previously he build a Chicken sized deck chair to go on the deck...
