By the way, Elle, I really like your playground ideas. I had fun sifting through them for inspiration for a playground for our almost-two year old son.

I have tried various watering methods that prevent them from getting in the water but they seem to be so much happier and healthier when they are able to bath daily and cover their entire heads in water as needed when eating. I also only have 9 ducks which makes this all a lot easier than if I had a lot of ducks and we consider our ducks to first be pets so are happy to do extra work (plus my plants that get the water are so happy!) and spend extra money on them.
