I use this small kids pool to let my ducks swim in they have used this pool all summer it was around $12.00 bucks and the drain was around $10.00 hope this helps you .
I use the same kind of pool for my ducks. I used to drain it on to my vegetable and fruit gardens thinking it was good fertilizer, but it ended up toxifying my soil. The pH became too alkaline and I had to add sulfur every 3 months for a year until anything would grow in the soil again. I now use a sump pump and pump it into the sewer. I still spray it on my gardens, but only 1-2 times per year. When nearly empty, I lift the kiddie pool up and scrub it out with animal-safe cleanser. The edges crack after a couple of years. As a result, I have to buy a new kiddie pool every 2-3 years.
Jennifer Farsh I love all of my criiters, I have Muscovy ducks, what kind do you have? I know why they're throwing rocks up in there, well in truth there ain't no throwing to it or even kickin to it...lol...I bet the rocks he is getting are too big for them to swallow but small enough they think well...maybe this one..lmbo!! They have to have gravel same as a chicken!!! Lol!!!
They do so love to put rocks in their water ! or knows why, but my geese also do it... I had drains also....finally I gave up and just get heavy duty kid ponds or those cement mixing containers at Home Depot and dump them.... (I do have more than a dozen as I raise them)... I put plastic around the pools or wood to keep them cleaner...but they do so like to make mud!) Or put their food in it ...they are ducks.... We had a 4" drain in one and they still clogged it and I got tired of reaching my hand down there in it..... If you can find those turtle pool/sandbox for kids they are thicker and last for years.... the blue pools only last a year or 2 at most.If you get them on sale at end of summer you can buy more and double them up , it makes them thicker and less likely to crack at the bends....but they can't take the suns rays as well as the heavier sandbox type.
I raise ducks and have drains on all of my ponds, I use 2" PVC and have a ball valve at end on outside so you never have to go in and it don't clog. And yes this stuff is awesome on your garden in small increments
I was thinking to do something similar but to have the water run out to the compost pile and or garden as this would be good fertilizer water. How often do you change your pool? I have been changing ours weekly with 3 ducks and 2 geese.
I like the basket strainer idea - good thinking! We've been pondering how to set up our duck pond for the spring. I think the thing with the duck manure water and fertilization is that it is pretty "hot" - high in nitrogen - we raise chickens and it is hot too so I usually let it compost first with some wood chips or leaves or something like that. Maybe if it drained into a pile of wood mulch or something like that Anyhow, thanks for posting this. It gave me some ideas.
Chicken poop will do that, but not duck. I use the duck kiddie pools to water everything on this farm. I fill them up each day and in the evening I use a dirty water sump pump ($50) to pump it out to the trees, bushes and veggie gardens.
Great Idea! .... I showed my wife your video and off to town we went total investment less than $40 ... only thing is that we had to spray the bottom of the pool around the fitting with flex seal because there was a small leak ..I bought my daughter two ducks for her birthday ..I didn't know that they would grow so fast!
they grow up too fast cuz they have been man made engineered to do so so that people can eat them quicker :( its a bummer in 3 months they go from tiny fluffy yellow puffballs to adult looking ducks. :( i want babies for much much longer!
I like your video so much I just did it to my kiddie pool for my ducks and it works awesome!! Thank you for this great idea, I hope it's okay with you I am sharing it on my website Chicken Heaven On Earth to help my viewers out. I will include a reference and ask to subscribe to your channel.
Got to show this to my husband! He has been struggling emptying out the two kids pools we have for our geese for several years now. Now even I could do this!
Ours is the same concept but flat on the ground so it runs back in. I still have to pick it up to get it extra clean. We did however take plywood pieces and sanded them down to baby soft smooth. We then put them on/under the sides of the pool. We decided this way the ducks would hopefully have cleaner feets getti😂ng in. We like to play pretend😂
cayugas and pekins (alfek ducks) cant fly so they are great pet ducks. they cant get out of their pens/yards to end up being eaten by dogs or the neighbors animals ect. they stay where you put them. great and sweet little creatures. from far away pekin duck eyes look red, but lose up they are a gorgeous shade of blue! i love to watch their butts waddle and listen to their feet when they walk on concrete. mine are such good fishermen they can eat 60 fish from a kiddie pool in like 10-20 minutes!
Can you explain to me... a non plumber, how you installed the drain and pipes? I love this idea, though I will have my run out fill some kind of water catchment so I can use the mucky water for watering my garden.
you can look on youtube and there is videos how to install a basket strainer you can use the cardboard washer to draw a circle in your pool and use a utility knife to cut out the hole and then install basket strainer you can also buy an adapter at Lowes to screw on the bottom buy an elbow in a short piece of pipe it will be inch and a half
Thank you for responding quickly. How often do you change the water and how many ducks does this accommodate? Is this better than a little pond with a pump considering the amount of muck and duck poop?
I have got to to do this for my ducks pool someway somehow I may waste a pool but practice makes perfect , I'm so tired of having to wait til he gets home to dump it for me . was any glue needed and if so what kind ?
This IS a great design. But yeah there is a lot of water & fertilizer not being utilized right there! Plant some fruit trees or perennial vegetables at the end of that drain pipe soon please.
This is a great idea and also when I empty my duck pool out in their pen area it constantly stays wet and mucky. I know they are ducks ,they like the wet and that’s OK, that’s what they do but I think this will help a little bit thank you so much.
This has me thinking... there has to be a way to put a water catchment system under the ground like a duck septic system, then put a pump in it with a hose to water gardens and compost piles with it!
I just bought a kids pool today I was thinking about doing something similar. I Think your idea is better than mine I’m going to steal it. Thanks for sharing
by the way, i have a feeling your ducks aren't flipping up rocks, it is more like in one end and out the other end of the duck. I have actually seen my ducks eat rocks (goofy things)....real nice video.....we have done the same thing with our duck pool, love it, makes cleaning so much easier and faster, we have ours drain into our garden are into a holding tank where then bucket it to the rest of the garden, our garden was amazing this year :-)
How do you attach the drain to the plastic pool ? We tried this once and could not get a water tight seal. How do you have your ducks getting in and out of the pool ? thanks
Muriel Redd if you have to put silicone I just tighten mine really tight. the Ducks will find their way in and out you may have to put a small ramp for them when they're small
Holly Edwards you just have to stub your pipe through the dirt then just push your sink drain with a adapter on it down on the pipe it's just sand underneath the kiddie pool
How did you attach the strainer to the plastic? I attempted this with a marine sealer and it didn't hold up well and leaked. Your creation looks great and I would love to recreate it if you could share! Thank you!
ISeeYouFapping You see, you read like most insecure ppl do. You read what you wanted into it, instead of what it really was meant to be. Go away child, you bother me.

You're brilliant! Thank you
Great idea! How often do you clean it?
"I don't know why they keep throwing rocks in here"... that made my day!! I have ducks too and they are hilarious.
I expected him to say "I will have to give them a stern lecture about that!" LOL

Lmbo!!! Yup!

I think its for the gizzard to assist grinding their food as they posses no molars. If you dress any form of poultry this is what you will find.
@@theducklinghomesteadandgar6639 He should give each one a quick pat down (contraband search) before putting them back into the clean exercise pool.

So can your ducks can get in and out of the pond easily without any steps?
they have no problems getting in and out
awesome! good to know, think Im gonna build something very similar. Great video!
I'm going to put a pvc ball valve on as soon as I can. ever time I'm at the plumbing store I forget to get one.thanks for watching
I was thinking to do something similar but to have the water run out to the compost pile and or garden as this would be good fertilizer water. How often do you change your pool? I have been changing ours weekly with 3 ducks and 2 geese.
I pull out water with pitcher n pour it on my flower bad n rose bushes
You should build you a little Garden at the end of the drain pipe then you are 100% sustainable with a great Liquid Fertilizer
It would be over fertilized and would kill more than it helped.
@@jsweevil yea ducks poop 24/7! little poop machines!

My duck pulls the drain plug and hides it....lol
This is so simple and so brilliant! I'm going to do that for my kid's wading pool.
You need to dilute this water, if you want to use it as fertilizer, otherwise it will burn plants. But for that you need to catch it first somehow.
Chicken poop will do that, but not duck. I use the duck kiddie pools to water everything on this farm. I fill them up each day and in the evening I use a dirty water sump pump ($50) to pump it out to the trees, bushes and veggie gardens.

Dude I love this fricken Idea!!!! I always play hell cleaning out the small Pools that my ducks use.

Thanks so much for this practical advice.
I really like this..um that wasn't a piece of grass clogging it up it looked like you had a small toad go down the drain.
good idea just a thought, maybe a bigger pipe 4'' and more of a angle would give better drainage.
Ours is the same concept but flat on the ground so it runs back in. I still have to pick it up to get it extra clean.
We did however take plywood pieces and sanded them down to baby soft smooth. We then put them on/under the sides of the pool. We decided this way the ducks would hopefully have cleaner feets getti😂ng in. We like to play pretend😂

thank you this pool lasted me over the harsh winter also i need to apply your idea on the drain part .
awesome idea!!!
i just use a sump pump w a hose attached so i can water the garden
I put roof runoff directly in the pool and when it rains it cleans it too :) but I fave 200 gallons
Genious idea-Love it Buddy
too much nitrogen for the plants is what i read
Can you explain to me... a non plumber, how you installed the drain and pipes? I love this idea, though I will have my run out fill some kind of water catchment so I can use the mucky water for watering my garden.

+HOSS-IT-IS thanks so much
how did you put the strainer etc in there
1) my duck pool is in our 40 tree orchard! 2) put a pump and hose in the big pool and we feed our trees!
cool
Love this idea...thanks so much... and YES ducks are very dirty....
Why don’t you just lift the bucket up and flip it out? That’s what I do 🤷♀️
These small plastic pools are made out of nothing they will break
I love this idea! Thanks for sharing :)
how did you drill a hole in the pool without forming cracks and ruining the pool? Also how did you prevent leakage?
Heat the pool with a hair dryer and use a razor knife to cut hole I use silicone to seal
Thank you for responding quickly. How often do you change the water and how many ducks does this accommodate? Is this better than a little pond with a pump considering the amount of muck and duck poop?
Truth Seeker I had three ducks I changed it everyday
I have got to to do this for my ducks pool someway somehow I may waste a pool but practice makes perfect , I'm so tired of having to wait til he gets home to dump it for me . was any glue needed and if so what kind ?
you could put silicone around the drain to keep it from leaking
Thank you Hoss !
This IS a great design. But yeah there is a lot of water & fertilizer not being utilized right there! Plant some fruit trees or perennial vegetables at the end of that drain pipe soon please.
That's some Grade A MiracleGro coming outta that pipe. See those plants growing near the end of the pipe?
omg! genius! wow. thanks for this awesome idea. you rock! :)
I have a couple of kiddie pools for all my ducks. I just tip it over and hose it out and all the water runs down to our trees
This is a great idea and also when I empty my duck pool out in their pen area it constantly stays wet and mucky. I know they are ducks ,they like the wet and that’s OK, that’s what they do but I think this will help a little bit thank you so much.

great info! We were recently given ducks and it was starting to get to my back, cleaning that pool. thank you so much. blessings to you
Lol...well im gonna steal this idea...but use the water direct into the garden
Nice video,
Now about those rocks > maybe one them likes to eat them as part of their diet ?? Hahaha
Brilliant!
Im a new duck owner and im flipin that kiddie pool every other day good idea im goin try it
Awesome!!!Thank you for sharing your thoughts!!!!
hello thank you for your video, where did you get this kiddie pool?
Couldn’t you put a valve on the pipe so you would need the basket strainer
Waste of time watching a person draining a pool
I take it you didn't do a film on how to put the strainer in the bottom of pool right
kool
Well done
I was wanting a steal over flow tank(costly!)
till I seen this, can they swim much in that depth?
I love it
That's a really cool idea! Love simple solutions to tasks that we make unnecessarily hard on ourselves.
Great idea and video :-) Thanks for sharing :-)
Friend of mine uses an old shower tray, drains fast and big enough for several birds to get in.
Brilliant idea! I think I have something to put on my hubbys 'to do' list. Thanks for sharing!
is the smell bad since the ground seems like it would always be wet?
I don't put water in it in the winter.
so very clever! thanks for the video
This is genius!! Thank you.

By now I hope you know that duck eat rocks for the same reason chickens do; the need them to grind up the food they eat in their gizzards.
Your go pro idea is awesome.

Muriel Redd if you have to put silicone I just tighten mine really tight. the Ducks will find their way in and out you may have to put a small ramp for them when they're small
Get some pivot head glasses
nice idea.. how about feeding a garden???
Such a nice idea. Thank you for sharing!
Awesome idea, we'll be trying this soon!
Thanks for watching the video
That is brilliant! Thanks for sharing. What does it look like underneath?
Holly Edwards you just have to stub your pipe through the dirt then just push your sink drain with a adapter on it down on the pipe it's just sand underneath the kiddie pool
Thank you !! Awesome !!
great idea. Thanks
rocks aid ducks for digestion
thanks
no
yes
Awesome set up!!!
great idea!
awesome. idea
Nice I like it
ههههههض
Thank you!
great idea
Thanks.
great idea
Great Idea!
Pp
Cool!
Genius
how often do you do this?
once a week
👍
How did you attach the strainer to the plastic?
I attempted this with a marine sealer and it didn't hold up well and leaked. Your creation looks great and I would love to recreate it if you could share! Thank you!
This is awesome ! I have 6 new ducks so this is very useful! Thx
What did you use to cut the hole so that the pool doesn't crack. I tried piercing a hole once and it just cracked in a straight line.
Aztec Girl take your hair dryer and heat it up first
HOSS-IT-IS eww okay! Great Idea! Thank You!
5 minutes???? You could have just shown a pic. I really didn't care to watch you rinse and refill . Editing is your friend. Otherwise, Great Idea.
