Duck keeper in Shropshire
« on: July 06, 2016, 09:58:50 am »
Hi all.I'm Kathy
I have 3 white campbell ducks. They lay daily.
I am looking for advice on how to keep the water clean-ish!

only way is to change daily

Don't wrestle with pigs, they will love it and you will just get all muddy.

Let go of who you are and become who you are meant to be.

Have a pair of the same and agree with BiW, just change it daily. But then it only stays clean for a few minutes anyway! Ours have a drinker that is quite deep and they can get their heads submerged in plus a trug to bathe in. At least they can't poo in the drinker.

Hope you're enjoying them and the eggs as much as we do. Fab for baking lovely sponge cakes.
