Hi, All! So so happy to have a place to go with duck issues. I have an elderly and mixed flock of Indian Runners and others. The temps here have been very cold. Food and water freezing, etc. My ducks are in a modestly insulated low-roofed coop with a light on a timer. They have fresh food and water twice a day at least. They also get used or loose hay from the goat and sheep bales for bedding. Just in the past two days they have become very dirty and seem to not be grooming. Their feathers look wet and/or dirty. One of them has what looks like a gunky eye. Could this have to do with the cold? Any chance they can get through this on their own? Any advice? I am hoping to avoid having to bring all 6 of them into the house for a bath and blow dry!
Thanks,
Michelle
