Crowing
We are in the process of splitting our ducks and chicks before they fully mature. We have a duck enclosure plan but want to make sure our space is appropriate for them. We have 7 ducks. The indoor space we will have is about 10'x3' by 3' high. The run area has more option but currently planned 10'x20'.
As far as a pond/pool goes, the thread here is sooooo long it would take me hours to read all ideas with my crummy internet. Plus we cannot do a fancy filtered one. So our two best ideas are a kiddie pool which is similar to our temporary current pool. But we would like to try lining a larger area with rubber from a friend for a more pond-like area. Maybe a pond around 10' circle roughly. My issue is...how would we keep it fairly clean? Is there a way without a filtration set-up? We are on nearly all sand. Does anyone have a sand yard and an unfiltered pond? Small holes and rocks at the bottom and daily refill? I need ideas. Cheap/free not overly physical (dumping a kiddie pool every day...we are on disability) ideas.
