Hardwood wood CHIPS for duck yard

[DoodlesDuckies]

Morning. I have scored some wood CHIPS (oak, maple, pine, hickory- no bark just WOOD) from the local hardwood mill. With all the rain this year the yard has become a bit unsightly with mud...there is no cedar in the chips but just making sure using wood CHIPS under pools ect...will work good andhelp with moisture. I plan to use some fabric also. They do still have a small mud area to play in, I don't want to take ALL their fun away. I am kind of guilty of keeping that area wet so they can play in it. They love it. Little piggies with feathers. Thoughts?

PS- I am aware that this is a band aid and I should completely regrade the area and have proper drainage blah blah blah...when I win the lottery, they will have a mansion, I promise.
