I have no idea what I am doing

Oh boy. We actually have two strings of white Christmas light in their run which we turn on around six at night until we bring them into the gazebo around 9 PM then the light is on for about an hour inside until we leave them to go to bed. The Christmas lights in there right or not that bright it just makes it a little easier for us to see them on the security cameras

Yes they do but depending on there they are it can be hard to see them

I wouldn't stress about it. Think of her like a house cat, they are in weird day/night cycles all the time and it doesn't really bother them, they just grow a weird or very light winter coat and shed all the time rather than once or twice a year. Likely she will just drop feathers randomly but not go naked or bad enough to bother her, much like a house cat shedding on the couch.

Just took these before bed. This was after her late night snack. Looks like our girl is back to normal. She looks pretty big here but she was tired and it's getting cold again so she was all puffed lol and there is her boy standing guard 24/7

She looks all nestled in and ready for bed! I’m glad she’s feeling better.

So I just read everything from the beginning and I laughed and cried and have so much love and appreciation for you both and this site! I have a male and female pair of Swedish ducks that I never meant to keep and fell in love with and ended up landscaping my yard, my house, my life for them and they make me so happy! They are my babies and I worried about every little thing, still do honestly.
My girl is molting, omg, had no idea about that! They also will refuse to eat their crumble food unless I withhold treats, and whatever they eat ends up in the poop in minutes! I had several scary poop moments. They Seem to get stuck in a rut easily, as in they forget about the pond, or the other side of the yard, or that water bowl under the gutter etc. I still baby them a lot and they come in the house all the time and wear diapers. When they were teenagers they went thru an I’m scared of Mom thing, but now they love me.
Whew, sorry to be so long winded.
You guys are doing everything right and you will look back on these days and laugh and cry. So glad I’m not the only one getting up at night to check the duck house temp, and worry about everything!
Ducks have changed me forever and I think everyone should love and be loved by them! Blessings and prayers for both of you!
