This will be my first winter with ducks. I only have two. Unfortunately they are both boys. Unfortunately I didn't get any eggs, Unfortunately I thought they were Mallards and fly south, Unfortunately these $4 ducks at Fleet supplies have become expensive pets.
Non the less they are so happy, affectionate and funny little creatures, Everyday they make me smile.
I live in Indiana. I have no electricity to the coop, I use solar to keep a motion detector security light on them.
Any ideas on keeping them warm, their water from freezing and is there a different feed for winter or stick with the corn feed.
Their coop has sand on the 1st floor, Tyvek floor with Aspen shavings on the second. The whole this is surrounded by a solar electric fence that provides protection at night and them to walk on a mulched area during the day.
