As usual I go everyday to the college pond to feed my pekin duck and big white goose and the other Mallards that make it home.
Today I picked up "Mama" I call her, the white goose and held because she had ice all over her head and neck, chest and wings and she tried
to help me get it off then she just stuck her head under her wing and stayed there while I fed the other ducks. The lake is frozen over except for a small part
where they stay in the water and I take them seed and greens and I know I am not suppose to but they love their bread because they have been living
at the college for many years and that is what everybody feeds them.
Should I removed the ice or does that insulate them? She really liked me holding her and warming her up and when I go to leave she really quacks and follows
me,..I have to pick her up and take her back to "Shorty" (the Pekin duck) because they are ALWAYS together,.....
WHAT DO I DO? The weather here is Kansas City is 2 degrees and wind chill is below zero,....??? They have no shelter but some trees, benches, picnic tables,..
it's a park,..so what to do?
Help,....
