Homestead duck pond building adventures. The ducks seem to hate our new pond. Enjoy the episode. SUBSCRIBE and help support the channel. And don't forget to drop a comment. It helps us to build this channel into something special. We're transforming this 90 acre property into a self reliant homestead and farm stay vacation rental. We're building infrastructure to accomodate future growth such as barns, duck house, 7 coop chicken house, water hydrants, planting an orchard, building a garden etc. Chickens, ducks, geese, mini pigs, rabbits, a bunch of barn cats and two old english sheepdogs make up our team here at the farm. Please follow along on our journey of transforming this place into something special.

    Put their plastic pool by the pond and fill it. Great job on the pond!

    What a lovely paradise youve created for these cute farm animals❤

    See me here holding my breath waiting to see the ducks go in the pond, and shouting 'take a couple up Chad and put them in and the rest will follow' 😂😂 Maybe put their old water baths near to the edge of the pond and that will help them to find it?

    Everything is scare to critters until they learn it's ok. Don't force it. Maybe give them just a few of their tubs back and every couple of days move them closer to the pond and remove one until your real close to the pond. Maybe then they'll figure it out. It has turned out very nice, I'm loving it!!! Be patient it will happen 🌞😊

    The ducks will appreciate a ramp. Also if you ever have goslings they won't be able to get in and out of the water easy.

    What a beautiful pond congratulations 🎈🎉🎊🍾

    If you notice wild ducks can’t leave a lake until the lake is to so many feet in front of them. They can’t lift themselves up to fly. You might want to make a lower area for the duck to walk up and down into the water. Ducks realize they can’t get out of the pond. Some could drown. Ducks have shorter legs than your geese. Place flat stones and pea gravel around pond 5 or 6 ft. away from the water. Then the ducks and geese will keep the water clean and can get in or out. I would check with local wildlife rehabs around your area. They can tell you what to add.😊😊

    Great job with the pond tho' Seems there is nothing you can't build. It will look even more beautiful once you finish landscaping it and maybe add some more stones around the edge 😊❤💖💯

    The pond is beautiful, the ducks will eventually find it. Can’t wait to see them enjoying it.
  • Believe me they will have to adjust to it then they will love it 😍
  • @VickiTay
    Pond is beautiful and peaceful too with the waterfall. Fantastic job! 😊
  • The geese are so happy swimming away but it’s so delightfully to see your face happy 😃! Maybe just take one duck to go in first then the others will follow! They only know small plastic ponds! Well done Chad …
  • The ducks are being cautious. One laid an egg, because anxious. They need coaxing and will eventually go in. Really nice job, looks so relaxing with the waterfall part. Can't wait to see them enjoying it. I was so happy for the geese!
  • @IzzyOnTheMove
    I wanna swim in that pond, lol 😄 beautiful work, Chad! Your vlogs are so heartwarming to watch
  • @Srediess1
    Wow! Really nice job. This is so inspiring.
  • @Riderhook01
    Everything need Time. The Ducks will find out, and go in the Water. Sure. Great Job.
  • Looks great Chad, good job! I doubt the ducks hate the pond, its probably more that they didn't realize what it is. Please don't be discouraged! Great video made my morning 🥰
  • I have noticed that our ducks can’t go up steps or jump up on rocks. The person who commented saying to put in a ramp, that’s a good idea 😊
