I have Muscovy ducklings and a duck and I have been reading that ducks are okay with the cold. The thing is that recently it has been below 0 (around -10 through 30) and I have been losing my ducks. Recently their feet have been literally FREEZING. I learned that ducks are able (or supposed to) be able to keep their feet warm in the winter without them freezing. But even with straw, food, water, and a heat lamp that DOES help they still are having problems. It is mostly the ducklings that are being effected. Is this just the type of duck? I have been taking the ducks into the basement, or they end up dying. I have already lost 4 ducks to the cold and I need to find out what is happening. It also happened before the heat lamp, so it isn't that. Also, I should have been a little more specific, we have many shelters that are on and off the ground to go in and also the ducks can't move when their feet freeze. Please, PLEASE help me figure this out, I need it!
Thanks for any help!!!
