Result!

Been to the duck pond tonight and can confirm the ducks are using their new beach. Well done animal aid.

Walked past the duck pond yesterday, 3 ducks happily perched on their "island" looking very happy. Will remember to take some pics next time

Yes I also thought they looked more content last week

At the risk of being totally slaughtered, can someone tell me what characteristics the ducks displayed that suggested that they looked "very happy" and/or "more content".

Hi Highlander
I think the fact that they were resting on the beach means they were happy with it.

A question-Our local deli has a chicken run into which they have introduced four rescue ducks. They have a small paddling pool about two feet in diameter to wet their bums. Do you think this is big enough.

They were sat on their own private beach watching the world go by without a care in the world whilst cuddling up to their siblings & waiting to be fed, that looks good enough for me to say they were "very happy" - I would be if I were in that situation lol.

If Evidence were needed !

And then they started showing off and started a Disco !

It ended up with two of them getting drunk at the Disco and some how ending up over in Calis

Seriously, these two were sat on the beach for 3 days in exactly the same spot looking out towards Sovalye, no idea where they went.

Hi Sue, Sorry for the late reply I totally missed your post.
Ducks don't really need to have enough water to swim, although it's nice if they do. The need enough water to put their heads into as they need to wet their eyes to stop infections. Most ducks spend their days waddling around with their bills in the grasses. When I kept my ducks the were always walking around the fields and only in the pond occasionally.
They are amazingly dirty birds and make a lot of mess if kept in a restricted space.
