Do cayuga ducks roost?

[Cassandragrenr]

I saw a website saying they do, but I haven't seen any other proof otherwise, so please inform me!

They like jumping onto "higher" surfaces but do not roost like chickens do. With the exception of Muscovies, ducks prefer to sleep on the ground.

should I get them something of a higher surface to jump on?

No need to go buy anything. If you have any firewood laying around, stand one up on end...my Daffy loves jumping up on anything higher than the ground. Stumps, chairs, tables, grills, etc. They will find things to jump up on.

Does daffy fly? Or is she just a great jumper

The last two photos are when she had her flight feathers and the first two photos are when she does not after I clipped them.

This was the day I decided we couldn't risk it any longer

The picture above is from yesterday, she is currently clipped and can hop to the bench and then onto the tabletop. To get down she just jumps and flaps her wings to get a softer landing

Sorry!! I can't remember accounts really well, you've shown me her before
Daffy is beautiful!! My muscovy ducks seem to be too heavy to jump, so they stay on land. I've tried giving them roosting bards with ramps but they hate it!!
