These hens love to swim. Each morning I dump out the dirty water from the day before and they stand in the empty pool as it fills. Once a day I dump in 8 or 10 feeder fish and the ducks have a ball catching and eating them. They love to eat wild strawberries and thawed peas tossed in the water as well.

When they get a little older - they move from the kiddie pool to this one and are allowed to free range. The floating house is new this year - will see if they take to it.

Don't show my ducks and geese. They might just pack up and move to your place. Nice set up.
