Where are you located???

I have a mailing address of Miles City, MT, but I'm so far out if I got enough acreage and set up a post office I could have my own town.

This is what I'm going to use in the winter to keep the water heated. You can get them on eBay and I think other places. Stick a heating element in it and they last about 4 days with the 30 I have. Fast forward to 56 seconds to see it unless you want to watch the whole video.

I loved the video. So they can get their nares into the small containers in that big container that was in their housing. Your setup is really cool. My husband has raised beds too for his garden but nothing like your setup. Much smaller because we don't have the space. My water bill for the three of us living here and the 20 ducks runs 100 dollars each month for the summer. We don't wash our cars here or waste it any other way than on the ducks and they are my pets so it's really not wasting. Your flock was beautiful!!! Thanks for sharing your setup.

Thanks, and that's the wife's garden of her building and doing.
I shouldn't complain, at least when I get water it's $28 for up to 3000 gallons, my rig drinks about 20 gallons to go get it about twice a year. Can't wait till I start pulling water off my pole barn roof. We could wash our cars, but that's like watering plants in a windstorm though we have to wash the undercarriage off time to time cause the clay gets built up so bad especially in the rims. Fifty miles of rock/dirt road is as if you never washed it before you get to the end.

I just saw the other video with the pool idea. Sorry about that, I had missed it the first time. Looks like a good idea. Mine would still try to splash it all out. They are such splashers, lol.

We have clay also and it is under the sand. After mine muck around the water containers it gets quite muddy but they don't mind.

They splash about 3 inches out per a day so far from what I see on the water trough. Need to update the video with the Waddle Inn, it has since gotten a new room added for Guinea fowl to be raised in and then roosting bars are going in soon too.

Abused duck keeper here

Welcome

I haven't been abused in a while...
But Dougie on the other hand...
Sprightly sailed around the pool on her back all morning!
Dougie had enough and scooted about, trying to get on with her morning splashes, but Sprightly stayed on, very happy with herself.

Since I have removed all of the drakes from my Hens I have seen my two Rouen Ducks riding each other. They did that when I first got them and had no males. I will let the boys out around November and they should not do that any longer. lol

Thank goodness he was there
My big question is how do you get your husband to clean the coop
Mine won’t even walk in mine

He cleans the duck and chicken coops. Out there building a new duck house now. Even does dishes and cleans the kitchen occasionally.
The chickens and ducks were his idea.
