Adding to their yard (Need ideas)

[KikiDeAnime]

Their yard is a bit plain looking and I'd like to add stuff to it so they're not bored.
Currently looking for a kiddie pool to add but so far no luck.

Their yard is L 22' 8" x W 19' 10"

Anything you suggest is welcome!

Ducks or chickens...? I assume ducks because of the pool....

If chickens, put in a ton of perches! I like to get old limbs and prop them up. My chooks love to sit on them

Woops didnt see that. Well as I'm sure you know a kiddie pool or any type of water in the ducks pen will make a huge sloppy mess on the ground everything will get muddy and poopy nasty mess. I would add a kiddie pool somewhere other then there pen such as your yard and let them out to supervise swim every so often.

Add Some herbs or safe flowers in planter boxes around there coops around the coop itll spruce it up and wont look as boring. My ducks are lazy the perfer to sit and lay down all day vs running around and scratching like my chickens would. so I don't think ducks can get bored I'll try and think of some more ideas bu that's all I have for now

What breed ducks do you have?

It was more of adding stuff for them to get into because there are 2 days that they'd have to stay in their yard until I got home so I don't want them to get sad or too bored. Other than those 2 days, they'd free range while I supervise.

Well with chickens I'd hang a cabbage or cucumber make a "tetherball" out of it so to speak. Or a flock block but those arnt really options for ducks.
