Ducks swimming water

[Lillypills]

My mother has got four Chickens and two ducks (all female) plus we have cats , dogs & budgies . a friend who is living with us (over bearing ) in thinking that we don't take care of our pets properly

trust me after hearing ever day "You should feed the animals at night not at 4pm that way they wont have to Starve or Are you washing the dog ( our 11 yea old dog) in warm water cause you know he'll feel the cold''

.She also believes that trimming our bird's wings is painful.

I admit there could a few things done better but they are usually happy and healthy

any way
There are a few things i would love anyone's opinions on

1st ducks and swimming water . will they still be happy in having their tub filled up every few days or is it necessary to give them new swimming water every day?

2st Will ducks be healthy if are they don't always get fruit and veg?

A lot depends on the size of their swimming pool. This time of year (summer here) bacterial levels can rise rapidly, and water may need to be changed daily.

Realistically ducks may be healthier if they are kept on a completely balanced commercial diet, but it's fun to provide treats.
