Which duck breeds are the most active?

[Tevyes Dad]

Naah, we want them to use our pond, it's just that it's so small that it's borderline animal cruelty to house animals that NEED to stay in water a lot to be happy. The pond is circular and maybe 5 feet across. But okay, if they're happy with that, it's all good!

OK, pond means a lot of different things to different people so I wasn't sure, anything from a hole with water in it that usually doesn't dry up to a groomed koi pond with sculptures and rare plants. My ducks will probably get a 4ft kiddie pool for a couple hours tomorrow, it is supposed to get up to 17F (-8C) tomorrow which is warmer than it has been for the last couple weeks. They will wedge about 6/7 at a time in there and splash all the water out of it, but will have a chance to bathe. They don't get much in mid winter. But in about 2 more months they will get their big pool back and be happy. If it gets above freezing for a couple days, they might get their 2 larger (8 ft) kiddie pools back before then. Right now those are completely frozen.
