Another question, I need an answer soon if possible: I know that chickens can get leg and foot problems if on slippery surfaces. What about ducks? Or is that stupid considering their natural habitat is water and mud?

Bring the hoses inside...where? In your house or garage? It gets very cold here in Pennsylvania during the winter and my garage is unheated so I would have to carry them into the basement. I'm intrigued by your idea but I can only image how difficult it's going to be to lug the hoses in and out of snow piles.We roll up our hoses and bring them inside when its going to freeze outside. Then we bring them back outside in the morning. We use our hoses all winter long by doing this. This way they don't freeze up on us.
We use straw or hay down in our duck and goose yards too. I'm always afraid with the pea gravel of them eating or choking on it.

I put down a thick layer of straw.
