Gander with rather strange behavior.

thank you so much. Yes he was pretty wet quite deep into his under feathers. I don't think he was soaked to the skin as I did feel a little warmth way up. I went in first thing this morning, he is still damp on top. His under feathers and neck are back to being fluffy verses yesterday and he feels warmer under the feathers. I put the heat lamp on, it's positioned quite high so as to keep it a little warmer and drier than it would normally be today. It's 40 degrees, damp and windy outside. we aren't going above 40 today and cold for the next week 30's during the day. The ducks look and act healthy but as i said we still have quite a bit of snow on the ground so no swimming for at least another week.

If I don't have frozen water outside[spring] mine bath[ I use those cement tubs in winter they can't do much but splash around] but it's better than nothing when it gets close to 40 during the day. so hopefully your snow will begin to melt and your flock can begin to enjoy spring. It's going to be cold and colder tonight here into 20's I'll be happy to see spring come and stay too. Have a Blessed Easter.

Your flock sounds very much loved. Nice to see.
