Thank you for sharing!!! Ive set up several pools around the cool also placing one a bit further away i. The opposite direction of the pond in hopes it keeps them plenty happy! Tomorrow will be day one for them free ranging and Im crossing my fingers!!

All of us hope for the best for them...and you.

UPDATE: I decided id take a week off work and let the ducks out with the chickens to free range and the ducks pretty much stick around the coop and the house. I am pretty much not even worried about them going any where near the pond anymore! It's been almost three months and while I know there's always a chance they could discover the pond, I think they are just more than happy to stick around where they know it's safe, they've got multiple pools, and a steady supply of snacks!
