Duck Pond
Project – Creating a Safe, Enriching Haven for Rescued Waterfowl
At Funky Chicken Rescue, we are creating a beautiful and
functional duck pond designed to give our rescued ducks the life they truly
deserve.
This project is more than just a pond — it is a thoughtfully
built habitat that supports both the physical and emotional well-being of our
flock. The pond offers a clean, continuously refreshed environment where ducks
can swim, preen, and express their natural behaviors safely. A Great Pyrenees
livestock guardian dog will live with the waterfowl in their enclosure to help
protect them from predators.
Surrounding the pond, we are building a fenced-in enclosure that
will keep our ducks safe while still allowing them plenty of space to explore.
A custom duck house, lovingly nicknamed the “Quack Shack,” provides cozy
shelter for rest, nesting, and protection from the elements.
We have also added a water feature to help aerate and circulate
the pond, improving water quality and creating a healthier ecosystem. Every
detail — from fencing to drainage to shelter — has been carefully planned to
ensure long-term sustainability and ease of care.
In addition to benefiting the ducks, this space will become part
of a peaceful and welcoming area for visitors. The purchased bricks will be
professionally installed to create a walkway and gathering patio, where guests
will be able to sit on benches while observing and connecting with the ducks.
Visitors will enjoy learning about the ducks’ care, their stories, and the
importance of compassion toward farm animals.

This duck pond represents everything we believe in: rescue,
rehabilitation, enrichment, and giving animals a safe place to simply be who
they are.
Funky Chicken Rescue is a volunteer-only, nonprofit 501(c)(3)
farm animal sanctuary located in Vacaville, California. All donations are
tax-deductible. Every animal who comes to our sanctuary will live out their
life here with love, care, and compassion. Money raised from this fundraiser
will go toward building the fenced area for the pond and ducks, along with the
professional installation of the bricks. Any additional funds will be used to
care for the over 200 rescued farm animals who call Funky Chicken Rescue their
forever home. Thank you for your support — our donors make Funky Chicken Rescue
possible.
