POND for my babies! It finally happened!

[Enten4life]

I've spent the last few months WAITING anxiously my pond to be installed that I've been wanting for YEARS. So last week, it happened! This pond has a HUGE upflow bio filter into a waterfall and a skimmer on the other end. Evacuation pump installed in the low end so I can pump out any sludge/mud/poo that doesn't get broken down. So far, the chickens are eating the plants so who knows if they will survive on the pond edges, but I plan on also pumping water through a hydroponic system to aid in filtration as well as growing leafy greens that the girls can eat. tagging @Mimi13 since you were saying you wanted to see the pond installation when it happened

And a chicken Photo Bomb.

To be fair, I did NOT do the work. Just the design. No way I'm skilled enough to do a pond correctly.

Already, the ducks are pushing the rocks off the shelves so I might have to invest in epoxy, lol

Wow that's beautiful! It must have been so exciting to watch the ducks take their first dip in the new pond

Yes! the last picture before the chicken photo bomb is the first morning they had access to it finished. They were skeptical at first of the waterfall, but Jessica (Our blue runner) went right in so her sister followed. But my Norbie girl (the white layer) was scared at first rofl.

And already one of the chickens ate one of the papyrus plants, which is funny because I expected the ducks to eat them first.
