we’ve got negative temperatures today. My ducks free range during the day, I waited until after noon to let them out but it’s still negative. Some of them went ahead and decided to take a bath in their water dishes and now have little ice sickles all over them. They’re locked up for the night now. Will they be on? I assume they’ll thaw out? Muscovy’s if that matters. The others were smart enough not to get in the water

The ice tends to either fall off, or thaws off itself - I have many who have developed icicles on their feathers, but it never really poses any concern unless there is a feather issue comprising thermoregulation, such as wet feather.

Thank you! I figured so! They were all fine before the ice. Honestly they doing the dirty deed, that’s why they were in the water 🙄. Ducks only have one thing on their mind I swear!
