    What kind of pump and filter system do you have? I love your idea and it's exactly what I want for mine!

      They’ve been doing front dives and flips 😂 they love it so much! I’m also thankful because the chickens figured it out quickly :) they drink from there

      A shade cloth or shady area is best. We ended up getting shade cloth. It makes a world of difference

    I want to know about your filter.
    Are you changing the filter daily?
    I would be afraid that it would start smelling.
    The ducks didn't eat the gold fish?

    • @JesusLovingHomesteader
      @JesusLovingHomesteader  Рік тому +4

      We so far are changing the filter every 6 days :) the fish have been staying at the bottom, we are hoping that the plants help filter the water even more :)

    Question, have you had any losses from chickens drowning by accident? We want to create something similar to what you've created here but we've had warning from others about that being a potential concern if we were to add ducks and a pond feature to our home.

    • @JesusLovingHomesteader
      @JesusLovingHomesteader  8 місяців тому

      Nope! Our chickens have done amazing! They even lead their chicks and teach them to drink! The waterfall is their favorite place

    ...reckon it isn't strong enough filtration to be able to cope with duck-poop...so I expect you to change the system quite extensively in the future (maybe you already have). I'm building the same size pool at the moment and will be concentrating on a longer pathway for the water, that will be filtered through first a radial flow settler, then some reed beds and other plant-beds, then back into the pond.

    • @JesusLovingHomesteader
      @JesusLovingHomesteader  7 місяців тому +2

      We were draining the pond and cleaning the filter about once a month . The water is used as fertilizer for plants etc drained through piping.
      We have 6 Muscovy duck. They don’t swim as often as mallard breeds. We used to have welsh harlequin and my word they were terrible about laying eggs in the water. We chose to stick with Muscovy. I’ve been trying to get plants added, but my word they eat them all .
