How to keep my Ducks in winter.

[Oyatullo Abdujalilov]

Hello everybody! I hope you are all doing well.
I have 2 ducks and they turn 1 year old in March. But, I wanted to know how to keep them healthy in winter period. I’m from Uzbekistan, and winter is really cold here, about 0-5 degrees Celsius. I feed them with warm food and water (not hot). And they live outside in coop but made of fence. So, isn’t it cold if I keep them in this condition.
Thank you in advance.

Can you get a photo of the coop?
A big danger is wind chill, even though ducks are cold hardy, they can get chilled by direct cold winds. It's why they need a good shelter at night. They also need good ventilation.
Straw is good bedding in the winter, it holds up better with the wet mess than hay and can help keep them warm on cold nights

I live in Canada and 0 to -5 is warm here in the winter
My ducks stay outside all day at those temps
We get to -48c at times here
I keep the coop door open so they can go in if they need to
I use heated water buckets for anything cooler then -5
I put straw or shavings on the ground outside to keep them off the snow in the outside pen area but they run around in the snow and dig around when the temps are -10 or warmer

If their coop is made of fencing do they have a shelter where they can get out of the weather? If not I'd get some heavy plastic and wrap your fencing to keep the cold wind from blowing over them. Many on here use plastic to wrap their runs in winter to keep the wind off their birds. Also does this fencing have a cover over top? That would be important also since if it snows or rains they will get wet and with cold frigid winds they can become hypothermic.
