best back yard pool???

[Vickers58]

Hi! I am looking for a better pool for our two back yard ducks.

one that is deep enough for an Indian runner to get her float on!! the kiddie pool we have is just not deep enough for her and she is totally jealous of the mallard's mad floating skills.

If any of you can link me to good ideas/purchases i would appreciate it! We have a relatively small back yard in Dallas... so we aren't on a huge amount of land.

They are not too keen on the bathtub!



Thanks!

If you don't want to go with the big kiddy pools you might try smaller livestock tanks, ie TSC carries a 40 and 110 gallon plastic ones and various metal ones... most big feed store chains carry something similar. They are usually cheaper than plastic ponds.

I use concrete mixing pans. Very durable, deep enough to float in.

Even for our long legged runners?

what size? This looks like the PERFECT solution to my problem

The ones I have are (duckwalks into pen to measure) 8" tall 22"x32"

Livestock stock tanks are my main choice, i keep two 50GAL with the big flock(plus one kiddy pool) and 1 40GAL with the calls.

There durable and can have heaters if you desire yes, they can be heavy to dump but i manage to dump mine, i just scrub them down every so often.

This is my small one for my calls(40GAL) and yes they just fly in lol the ones for my mostly scovie flock are lower types but same idea one is rubbermaid the other behlen
