Show me your duck ponds

[Duckpond1245]

I currently just use those cheap plastic tubs for my ducks. I would like to see some ideas of natural looking ponds that people have made and how you filter the water. Last summer I attempted a duck pond but failed, so I'll have to try again.

Following! I use a cheap kiddie pool too but I’ve just ordered a few more ducklings and I have the acreage for a pond

I got a preformed plastic pond, attached a drain with a valve and pipes that drain the water to an overflow area. It works for my 11 ducks - they also have a smaller one in their run - but I would love something even bigger! However it's a hassle to clean - I have to get into it and scrub the sides or pressure wash and in the summer water needs changing a couple times a week. Longer in the winter.

But, definitely worth the hassle of cleaning!

It looks great. I'm currently building a small aviary for 2 pairs of mandarins so this should work for them as they are only small, so less poop (hopefully)

Although not natural looking my setup might give you some ideas. Duck pond connected to a larger koi pond and filtered by a large amount of plants.
If you click on my coop in my sig it should direct you to a build thread so you can see how I built it.
