My duck was declared dead …. Then she came back to life…… then guess what happened!

[Quarterhorses1]

Wow! She must've been a thread away from dying. I'm sure the warmth saved her life, thank goodness you decided to wrap her up and hold her!!

I wonder what caused such a dreadful turn. Is she waterproofed, or do her feathers get wet?

Good job saving her, and congrats on the first egg!

She was VERY close to death. And she is waterproof, the water was just cold I guess

How old is she?

Shes 4-5 months

So she should have been able to take the cold water okay.
What were your temps when this happened?
It's an amazing story so glad she pulled through.

The temps went from 80-85 to 45-60 in a night and the water was super cold.

I feel awful because I’m a first time duck owner and I didn’t know they got cold shock

 

[Miss Lydia]

Sure sounds like that is what happened.
What breed? I can see this with Runners since they haven't any body fat to begin with.
