My ducks go swimming during the day and sleep in the barn at night. I noticed that the ducks have chunks of ice on their feathers. How do I get this off? Has anyone else had the same problem?

Moved my Anconas to a pen with a run and artificially lit house. Them seem to love it. They are so fun to watch. I love Ancona ducks.
