Duck Pond/pool pictures

[DuckE]

So, these pics are our duck house, duck enclosure, duck pool, and foraging area behind the duck house. The pool is drained with a hole and pipe we burried under the pool that goes out beyond the grapevine poles to drain in the pasture. We 'open' the drain line at the end of the pipe in the pasture with a turn knob. We ran pipes from the well to the duck enclosure and created a shower head over the pool to fill it without holding a hose. We also ran a line for a hose at the duck enclosure bc we clean out the pool twice a day since it is free well water. The cottage my Master Wood Craftsman hubby whipped up, I love that the windows are hinged and the chimneys don't let water in but do vent.

Now that is sweet!

I bought my scovie girls a kiddie pool today from walmart and put a few big rocks around it and 1 in it..they used the rocks to get in ,but not out..

My Peking ducklings do the same. Climb in, flop out.

I was wondering

What do you guys think about the 8' x 2' metal drainable pools from Tractor Supply?

I was wondering if you had gone with the galvanized tub? I wanted to use the same for future ducks but i wasn't sure if it was safe or a good idea.

Has anyone used a galvanized stock tank as a pond for their ducks?
