Hi guys,
I have to ducklings that are moving outside into their pen soon but I don't know If the pond is safe because there is a lot of decaying leaves in the pond and the source ( run off from a a massive hill) I have cleared the pond of most of the leaves but I don't know if it is safe as the "stream" that feeds it is pretty much a trench full of leaves but the water somehow gets through it. The mud which I cleared out from the pond to make it deeper also smells abit when you hold it up to your nose or disturb it by digging.. ECT. I have built the hole pen around the pond so I would like to avoid building another pen but understand if I have to.
Pics below:
The hole thing.
The "stream" which feeds it(looking up from pond side.
Thanks
