Pool areas and drinking water bowls can become mudpits quickly, due to the ducks natural inclination to drill into wet soil, looking for bugs/grubs. I sorta get around that by keeping pools on gravelly areas where drilling won't cause much of a problem, and put down a piece of plastic "chicken wire" under bowls, so they can't drill too much. http://www.homedepot.com/buy/outdoors/fencing/tenax/3-ft-x-25-ft-green-poultry-fence-22362.html<br /><br />Hope my info hasn't rained on the parade! And Indian Runners may not be as messy as Khaki Campbells. I'm sure the folks who have the ducks would be able to tell you more. Just want to make sure you can make an informed choice :-).d.a.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10701833441665984965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3534240.post-27538866499776994102012-07-12T07:51:23.614-07:002012-07-12T07:51:23.614-07:00what a beautiful place.
