Creek swimming

[Avachapman]

What do you think about creek swimming? I can watch my ducks swim there is no predators, during fall there is wild salmons and a few wild ducks off and on. My ducks love it I have Muscovy 4 at 12 weeks old I love them I been raising chickens no problems ducks have their own box but intermix fine during day.

Awesome idea! The ducks will love it!

Just watch out for:
Wild ducks spreading diseases or cross-breeding with them
Banks becoming muddy and dirty
Ducks getting washed down stream


Best of luck!

Thanks for your encouragement about creek swimming The creek stays low in the summer and early fall I have put up a fence with a gate to keep them out if need be which might during heavy rains and high waters. In the past I have seen wild ducks fly up the creek and float down the creek like it was an amusement ride. Also our creek has wild salmon spawning during early fall and I will keeping away from that. Thanks again Ava
