How to improve feather health?

Hey all! My ducks are all outside now! It’s below freezing and one of the girls feathers are not looking good. How can I help her out without bringing her in?

I think the feather issues you're seeing are due to the water on her feathers freezing, and subsequently freezing the barbules together. Similar to how our hair might do when wet.

Ok that makes sense! I ended up bringing the hair dryer out and drying her all off since it’s going to be below 0 for a week or more.
