Hi all, this is my second post as I just introduced myself with my first. Anyway I have a new place that is just dying to have some ducks on it. It has about a half acre pond and I plan on fencing off another 1.5 acres to give them plenty of room. Some of it is wooded (about 0.5 acres). Anyway I have already ordered 10 ducks (8 hens and 2 drakes) from Metzger that will be delivered in November. I want to plant some plants around the pond to give them something to peck at and eat as I really believe that natural is better if you can swing it. Any suggestions? I know that I will probably have to build them a pen inside their space to allow anything I plant to establish itself but I don't think it is too late to get started on some things now. What do you think?
Here are a few pics of the pond from this early spring (before anything started to really grow!)
