I hear that ducks are very cold tolerant, but.......

However, look how they choose to lay under the heater after a day in the yard with eight inches of snow.

Very pretty ducks!

Looks like you have quite a few runners. Pretty cozy setup for them!

Nice! It's interesting that our guys selectively use their Sweeter Heater. For example, our girl Martha has chosen to molt during these single digit temps, and she has been using the Sweeter Heater, but there are others who stay on the other side of the duckhouse.

Is that a converted storage container? Looks like a great set up. -20(C) or -4(F) here at night with lots of snow. Mine have a wood shed as their coop. No heater but lots of shavings to snuggle in.

No, it's an eight by ten shed that I built late last summer.

It's nice to be able to check on them if I hear strange noises during the night.
Most of the time I can see them out of the windows.
