Hi, I have 26 ducks and I was wondering how big of a pond I need to build for them. Also, do you have any suggestions on what filter to use in a pond?

Okay, thank you! Do you have any suggestions about what kinds of plants to put in a pond?Well a small poor won't do that's for sure! Best to call a hatchery and perhaps they can contact their supplier and they could let you know. Off the top I would say maybe 20 diameter pond.
Ok! Do you have any ideas on how to make it a self cleaning pond or what kind of filter to use in it? How deep should I make the pond?Don’t bother with plants. The ducks will uproot and eat everything.
Definitely Go as big as you possibly can. And don’t bother buying pond liner, it’s over priced. I made that mistake with my koi pond. Instead buy roofing rubber liner. It’s about half the price of pond liner at the same thickness.
I think I spent around $100 for 10’x20’.
I’m currently using a tote for mine, but definitely need to beef up my filtration now that my babies have grown up.Ok! Do you have any ideas on how to make it a self cleaning pond or what kind of filter to use in it? How deep should I make the pond?
You'd need an elaborate filtration system.but get it more towards self cleaning than the empty/refill method.
