Who’s got new duck pics?

I would if I could find them. Ducks I mean

I have 5 Cayugas and 3 Khaki Campbells, and a Khaki Campbell/Rouen cross. The Cayugas came from TSC and the Khaki Campbells were adopted. I'm so proud of how well they grew to get along.

Super beautiful ducks! Cayugas were always my favorite even though I never had them

We've had ducks for 2 years now. We currently have Rouens only. They are a a nice breed and last a fare amount of eggs while providing meat as well. We haven't raised them with the intent of met yet, but do process extra drakes when they mature and reach a good size.

Right now the biggest problem we have is keeping the duck run tidy. They poop and poop and poop. I put a thick layer of straw down and that helped for a bit. Now I am dumping grass clippings weekly into the run. It certainly helps. We have been leaving towards a composting in place method lately because the ground in the run was low and continues to settle after we filed in a 4ft deep pond and switched to kiddie pools. I could just level the ground now and change our approach since we have successfully built up the ground quite a bit now.
That said, if you have an outdoor uncovered run, how do you keep it clean (at least in duck terms that is so that it's safe for them and not smelly)?

And since everybody loves pics of ducks:

I never knew how dirty ducks were till I had them. Felt like parenthood raising them from day 1

Thank you! I love them so much, they were very easy to train and although they aren't super affectionate, their personalities are really funny.

Thanks! We have a section of our creek that's perfect for a little ducky baths.
