Are my ducks the only ones that do this?

[javajanie]

They love to eat the little icicles that form on the outside of their water bowl on really cold days. And when I break up the ice from their pool and throw it out on the grass, they try to eat that too! Weird ducks!

 

[bgelber]

Yours isn't the only one mine are eating the ice that forms from our downspouts

 

[chickensioux]

Mine do that too. Sillies!

Mine too when I flip their rubber water bowls and break the ice out they all come running and grabbing little pieces of ice. Mine don't eat so much as play with it. Silly ducks!

I have puts treats in water and frozen them and put in their pond... they love it even in the winter. They will nibble on any form of ice.. hope they dont get a Brain Freeze !!!!!!!!!
Gives them something to do for awhile anyway lol

I wondered if they were eating it or playing with it. I could not tell.
My chickens do it a little but not like my ducks!

Mine haven't done that but they do occasionally eat the snow. Always entertaining little creatures!

My ducks and chickens both love to peck at the ice when I empty their bowls in the mornings.

 

[Wifezilla]

Mine nibble on the ice blocks I break out of their kiddie pool

mine love snow but they only have a chance to eat it a day or two a year and not every year but they are very interested in snow flakes and i have seen them trying to catch them in the air ,maybe they think that snow flakes are insects
