➡I accidentally bought Balut eggs: 2 live ducks! Now a Chat Thread!

Are there no unrefrigerated ones?

Not refridgerated....just seem cool to touch. Maybe cause I'm used to holding hot S and W

I have no clue how to handle the water issue with our ducks this coming winter. (Next winter? Whatever) just trying to make it through spring and summer with no snake or hawk issues. One season at a time... Lolz

I have seen this and have a few different light fixtures that would work. I may give it a go next year. The ducks play in their water so much there's usually a hole on the ice (or they break a hole in the ice).

No candle I for got it. Delivered on Thursdays. Woot.

And they are fresh right? Not pre boiled?

 

[Kiki]

How many did you get? A dozen?

I don't even know. I think 4

Fresh

 

[Kiki]

Wait I didn't ask if fresh. I'm assuming fresh like my duck ones

I was worried about our ducks too, but they just treat the snow like water, when it's deep the swim and dive in it, they "drink" it, I had water pit for them in a heated bowl but they rarely went near it

For some reason I had this fear that you would get home and find they had been boiled, so I thought I would check

I'm at a light

How cold does it get where you are? Wondering if this would work here

I believe it got into the 16 range on our coldest nights.... If memory serves me right....it doesn't always.... This was our first winter doing it, but it seemed to do the job well. It also may depend on winter weather proofing coops? Ours are fairly open so we cover tops and sides with that insulated heavy plastic leaving ventilation footage at the top...
