Hello!
I am currently on my way to getting ducks (for the first time). I have landed on either Indian runners or Anconas for my needs. However I know ducks love water but make it VERY messy. So, I do live on a small creek (unfortunately it is not legal to divert a small amount of it in order to turn it into a pond) and I am wondering if I can let my ducks swim in it without loosing them. I am slightly worried that if I give them access to it they will end up floating away and just leaving to live on their own. Does anyone have experience with this? If not, does anybody have any good techniques or ideas for giving the ducks some water to play in? Or should I just use a kiddie-pool sort of thing? Thank you!
