3 days straight of rain? Should I be worried?

It was 4F here this morning, and our flock marched right out to their pool...but it was frozen solid :-(

LOL.

They are so weird right?

I have never seen a creature of habit like a duck!

The ice typically will not get too thick around here. So, once enough ducks get into the pool, the ice breaks and the ducks take a bath!
Maybe I am taking too lax an attitude from time to time, but I figure that short of a man made calamity like a road, the ducks have it handled. Amazing creatures that they are; able to navigate globally, swim, fly, walk, dive and such incredible hearing and eyesight.
I didn't realize until I had raised my first flock that the itty bitty ducks that I saw in the wild were only days old when they were taking their first swim.

You have not met our cats!

4 of my 6 ducks love the rain. They splash around in puddles and frolic around. My other 2, my first 2 that are Pekins, have always hated water for the most part and prefer to be dry
