Watering issues

[Our Roost]

I acquired 2 pekin ducks at the same time I purchased 25 chicks. They are beautiful and attack us when we have unfrozen peas to feed them! Currently we have a good sized watering bowl and a mini bathtub for them to bathe and frolic in. They literally tug at our pants legs if they are in want of something. Constant fresh water seems to be an issue we cant keep up with. I have nipple waterers for the chicks, but nothing set up for the ducks to provide water for them on a regular basis. Is anyone using cup waterers or anything else that would help me???

They have the bathtub to get water from. I'd imagine that would be enough. I just have a small tub for my ducks. The pond will come later and I do not intend on putting a different waterer out next to the pond.

I have a pond in my duck pen but also an automatic pet waterer. It has a float valve and it hooked up to the garden hose. It's set up high enough so that they can't climb into it (i.e. they can't poop in it) but can drink out of it.

So that's how I make sure they have a constant supply of drinking water that hasn't been pooped in

You can see it in the pic below - it's the blue thing just to the right of the entry ramp. It also has a drain pipe attached with a valve (tap) on it that I can open and close to drain it.
