Let's talk winter duck care!

What do you do about water if you're in the North and it snows and it below freezing for months?? Will they be fine without a pool? What type of waterer do you use for ducks in the winter?

They should do fine so long as they have enough fresh liquid water to drink and wash off their faces with. The pool can wait until spring and they will enjoy it even that much more.

So I think our Duck may be going broody? I am not sure. She is not sitting on the eggs yet. Every morning when I go to collect everyone eggs I have to uncover them. I am leaving the Ducks eggs just to see if she is going broody. Once she sits on them I am going to replace them with Chicken eggs. She isn't really hanging with the other Ducks like she usually does and I notice she does get upset when you go near the Coop she doesnt attack but she keeps her mouth open and knd of does a biting action in the air at you...is she going broody??

I know this isnt a great pic i'll try to get a better one soon, was wondering if anyone could sex the khaki campbells or if a better picture was needed,

The one in the foreground is most likely a female. The one in the middle could be a drake since it appears the head is darker but I suspect it is also a female. How about any changes to their quack sounds. The males will transition to a softer sort of cough quack while the female will sound like the Aflac duck. Also, does either one of them look to be getting a drake feather...curled up feather on their tail?

I can't tell from that, but others might have an opinion. The pic is kind of blurry. Can you get a side shot of each of them? How old are they?
