Pools for Ducks

[Miss Lydia]

Can anyone give reviews on the pools they like best for their water fowl. I have the largest kiddie pool and a smaller one. Been many years with these and they are needing replaced. Any one want to review this one?

I think this is like the one @Runner duck mom has!

I want to get one of those - I forget atm who, but they used one inside as a bedding area for their duck.

I think so too. Just not sure if 11 Runners will fit in all at once just kidding but man the plastic pools are so flimsy I had to buy 2 of the large ones which was 30.00 and 2 of the small ones which was 20.00 so over 50.00 for these pools that really look disgusting after so many years. And are cracking now. Reading the reviews they say the drain needs to be larger.

another thing is your muscovy with the long toenails!

Yeah another thing to think about. I want to get some free pallets and make ramps so the have one on each side right up to the top of the pool. But having a pool that will stand up to those claws is important too.

On a much smaller scale i use the doggy pools from petsmart, mine is 2 years old, its outside 24/7 year round
I grab the side of it and pour it out, even when its a full block of ice it still hasnt split or leaked

If you can get blue painted pallets, they are hardwood and last 5x longer than the average pallet
i use a pallet under my kiddy pool so its easy to level up

I've got one of those too but it got creases in it which turned into holes. Doesn't take much of a hole to lose all the water for sure! I fixed the holes with 5200 and I just might use that again this year until it breaks for good.

Go to Aldi, I was noticing the other day when I was there. All their pallets are blue!
