Hi folks.
I am wondering if anyone has had this problem. I have 4 indian runners. What beautiful things they are!
The last week it has been freezing here. Lowest about 17 degrees. The pond I have for them has been frozen over, and of course for the most part, the ground too. This went on for about a week. It is now warming up, and I have gotten all the ice out of the pond, but they wont go near it. They used to go into the front yard to forage, now they wont even do that.
I have had a great time watching them, and chasing them if they go too far. They do come up on the deck with the chickens every day, but thats it. Is this natural for them in the winter? Will it change when it gets even warmer? I know they are not sick, all my animals are healthy, thank goodness. I would appreciate your thoughts!!
Thanks, Linda
