Thank you. Too bad they don't have experience with ice.

Great News, we're able to build a duck house on land for them. We're going to attach one fenced wall to our chicken run, but they will have their own enclosure/house and run. They seem to really like being close to the chickens. Crossing fingers and hoping they will get used to it so we're able to lock them in at night.

Here are pics of our new duck house. As you can see, they have a large lake to use
when not in the pen. Still trying to get them inside, but they have been eating food
in the doorway. The white female duck was up the hill at our house in a flower bed
laying eggs when the pick was taken. I think the 3 will have enough room in this
pen, if not we can add on. This is attached to our chicken coop, they seem to
really like the chickens.

Not sure what happened to the pics, will try again.

Here's a pic of my duck house. I made it with two doors so that if a predator were to come in they could get out the other door. I put Layena feed inside the feeder. They are in and out all day every day snacking. It has four nest boxes and the roof is hinged to make it easy to get the eggs out.
