Hello everyone , We have 8 Muscovy Ducks 6 of which were born right here on our farm they are doing awesome except they will not use their shelter at all !!! We built two very good sized duck huts right down by their pond they will not go in them and my fear is they won’t survive the cold temps here in Upstate Ny and of course we have already had some VERY cold nights here with strong winds temps down to -6 and it’s only November by Jan/ Feb that’s going to be the norm during the day !!! We have tried everything!!! I woke the other day to frost on them and was so worried !! Today it’s warm but it will be getting cold again can anyone tell me wil they survive this cold without going into shelter or give me tips to get them in there !!! We tried leaving heat lamp on then off not putting a door on because I know they don’t like to be confined!! Also tried putting food in the hut then no food treats ect ...HELP over concerned Duck mom
