I don't know much about ducks, but the farm where I work has Indian runners, Sebastopols and geese and they are the happiest animals on the farm in winter -- out swimming and sliding around in the creek and snow. They don't seem to mind the cold at all.
Also, I have cambodian neighbors down the street who have chickens and ducks living in a very cool-looking pen which is full of vegetables and vines growing all over it. I think the birds eat the squash as they ripen, and the vines shade the pens in summertime. The ducks *live* on the creek next to their house, but come back in every evening to get fed in their pen.
