Best drought-tolerant ground cover for duckrun?

[PekinMama]

Hello!
I have a small area that is a sheltered “run” for my Pekins. They have access to the full backyard, but I’m trying to create a garden of sorts for them in their “run.”

What ground cover or other fast- growing drought-tolerant herbs/crops and safe for ducks to eat?

My intent it to plant in the soil directly and water a couple times per week (max) as I don’t have sprinklers in that space.

Mine don’t really seem to like herbs so you might try a creeping thyme or a mint?!

Love that idea, PekinMama! I’m new here and not all that knowledgeable about what’s safe for ducks to eat, so unfortunately I can’t give any advice. However, I’d love to know the answer to your question as well
