we've just used kiddie pools the past 4 years too but lately they've been breaking so fast (also lifting them to dump them out isn't fun lol)

Oh 1000%
I'm there for ages with buckets until I can actually tip the thing out lol
If I upgrade this, the next will have a plug and drainage system!

Noooo! Don't jinx me!!

It just happens you can’t stop it
My son in 2021 mom can we get 2 ducks. Me: no.
Him please we have a fish pond they can swim in
Okay fine just 2
We get The 2 pekins
Husband they are just white and boring
Okay let’s get one more
Peep the khaki
You can see where this story is going. I’m now at 16

This one makes me smile!
Also the thud when Sprightly hit the floor
I remember that day like it was yesterday.
"Careful... careful Spry, you'll fall"
*laughter*
*slide....plop*
She stood there on the floor looking up at me, puzzled. Then continued laughing

They're not very big but I've used cement mixing trays from the hardware store. The plastic is thicker and more sturdy than any kiddie pools I've used.

We got more snow again today.... another few weeks for the ducks being in the house

 

[BelovedBirds]

They sure love you

They're my world honestly
Don't know what I'd do without them

They're still abusive at times. But even so! It's worth it

random question but what pool do you all use for your ducks? we had 3 plastic kiddie pools but all of them broke over the winter so looking for better options lol

can you fit an old bathtub? otherwise the water bowls for horses are wonderful, made to be outside

I have the flexible rubber ones, they sell for about $20 at my local co-op:

by the way, this is also helpful if you have algae:
