    Question about water and freezing temps?

    She's better I think stiff this a.m. The winds gone so that's a plus nobody wanted to come out today except Butter who was highly upset when she climbed her pool steps to realize she's only going to ice skate today why she would attempt to swim in freezing weather is beyond me.

    Grass for the winter? Winterizing?

    Ducks do fair well in cold mine would rather sit out in snow and rain but, when play times over their ready for their run with dry shavings. My ducks seem to bed down or use their houses when it's 20-10 f or high winds they don't like wind. I believe ducks are like us they adapt to their climate...
