Hi
We have a small flock (10) of ducks. One duck is a male crested...something. He is white with some grey and quite a large bird. He is doing fine but I've noticed that when he plays in the water (swims in pond, rains, etc) he gets soaked! The other ducks seem more water repellent. He isn't shivering or appearing uncomfortable....but I worry. We are in Canada, on west coast ...rainy but rarely snow. This is his first winter (approx 7 months old). Are some breeds less water repellent? He has access to a covered warm coop but....would rather play in water with the flock. Any thoughts?
thanks
