How do you plan on winterizing for your ducks? I have three Cayugas and just trying to figure out what to do when the temps drop. How do you're chickens do during the winter. I know GA isn't as cold as the states up north so I wanted some opinions from owners down this way. Suggestions?

I have only had chickens for 3 1/2 months and duckling for about 1 month, so im not quite sure about how the winter will go, for my chickens I have a coop,i will put plexie? glass in front of the windows with small holes drilled to make sure they have some air, I will add a thicker layer of pine shavings, and i heard they will also need vaseline on combs and wattles, that is pretty much it. As for the ducks, i am still researching on how to winterize them.

Does it freeze down there? Man! I'm just tarping our pen and putting some hay bales around it for the ducks and I'm in MI!!

Yes, it does freeze down here, sometimes. I really don' t do anything different. Just make sure the water keeps from freezing. The birds do just fine without any extra protection.
