Ok, so I know I’ve read a ton of posts about how ducks do so well in the winter and we shouldn’t worry about them too much. We had our first super cold couple of days with a skiff of snow and my poor ducks really struggled. So I have 2 mallards one male and one female and they could barley walk in the snow. They could take a couple of steps and then laid down. It’s was about 14 degrees out with -2 windchill. I’m now very worried about them for the rest of winter. Thankfully we’ve had some pretty mild days but it’s only December and we usually get our big storms in the later months of winter. Can someone tell me if this is normal or are my ducks being dramatic!!??
