My old plastic kiddie pond (their main pond) is cracking and I found a good deal on a used bathtub. I plan on using it for my ducks but was wondering on the best way to set it up. Its looks like it is to high for most of my ducks to get in it easily. I also currently have two tall water 18 gallon muck buckets and only two of my ducks fly up into them to bath, with the rest just stretching up to reach the water for drinking. Seeing as most of my ducks and the two geese are not able to fly up 2 feet to get into the buckets I am pretty sure they won't like trying to fly up into the bathtub for a bath.
So what is the best way to make it easy for them to get into it? Ramp, steps, or just a mound of dirt or sand high enough for them at one side? I don't want to bury it because I want the drain to be above ground. Anyone with a tub for a pond please post pictures! I really need ideas.
