Mel (& Paul) Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 We are really keen on keeping ducks, but arent sure if we need a pond, how big it would have to be, wheter it would better to have one that you can move / empty, how noisy ducks are, how smelly they are, etc. etc. Anyone out there who can advise Mrs Nesbitt - if you are out there I think you might help!!

motherhen Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 I've mislaid that article I told you about, that had instructions for making a duck pond. I think it was in Country Smallholding - it must be somewhere so I'll keep looking and post a scan on here as soon as I find it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motherhen Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 Found it It is an article by Katie Thear and was in the Sept 04 Country Smallholding. This magazine is worth looking at if you are thinking of expanding your flock/garden or just enjoy dreaming about it. They always have a poultry section and the advice and info seems to be very good. There is more about keeping ducks in the sept 04 edition so could be worth going onto the website and ordering a back copy. http://www.countrysmallholding.com/default.asp?id=71 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
