duck ponds

Hey, all! I'm about to break ground on a duck pond. I've read that there are pond plants that I can grow in rocks rather than soil and that there is pond vegetation that will thrive on the ubiquitous duck waste that will invariably get in the water. Are there species that will do both -- grow...

Hello! So my sister can’t be left alone at tractor supply and brought a total of 11 ducklings home and 5 chickens in the past 4 days. The pond I originally dug for the 2 ducks we got originally is not going to be big enough. How big should I make the pond for 11 ducks? The national wildlife...

Hey y’all, I have 3 mallards and decided their little swimming pool was not enough. I did research and dug out a pond, added a liner and planted a ton of excellent plants that would clean the water and be safe for them to eat! It was beautiful.

Hello! I've been googling for a long time, but can't seem to find the right answer. We will be installing a small duck pond soon and I want something around it to help keep the ducks from tracking in a lot of dirt. Has anyone ever put pavers or flagstones around their duck pond and planted a low...

Alright so Ive been doing tons of research and just can't seem to find answers to some fairly specific questions I have. I'll try and provide as many details as I can. I'd also like to add that I'm trying to do this for as close to free as I can, and I live in a residential area so I don't have...
