Deep Freeze Winter Weather and Duck Feet

[chickens really]

Hello. I'm in Alberta, Canada and it definitely was hard on my Ducks this cold spell we had. -40C here.
My Ducks have a heated house although it's not room temperature at all. My Ducks had frozen poop balls stuck to their butts. Cold feet and definitely were miserable. I bathed them outside in their livestock bowl with warm water. They definitely needed that. Finally we are sitting at -1C and my Ducks are doing fantastic again..

Yeah, if you have ever camped out when its that cold you can relate.

 

[Miss Lydia]

You’ve camped in those temps? Y’all are some rugged folks!

 

[Ratchnick]

Yeah, building a cabin at the time so it wasn't just for the heck of it!

 

[Miss Lydia]

I bet not!

I had 1 duck with a poop ball as well. I took her for an emergency bath in the garage using a baby pool. All better after that.
