Snow and ducks

[Carebearsmiles]

My duck experienced her first snow today. She didn't seem to care at all. In fact she got upset when I put her up with the chicken.
Do you all put your ducks up during the snow or just let them roam?



Here they are not wanting to go in.



Here's the boyfriend closing them in.
The snow is actually sticking and accumulating now... And the duck is fussing from inside the coop. Should I let her back out? lol

We got 10 inches of snow yesterday and my ducks didn't mind. They walked in it and even went swimming at their swimming hole!

My Runner loves the snow. He digs little holes with his beak and tries to eat it.

Alright... Guess I'm being overprotective. lol. I'm going to go let her back out now.
I wonder if I should let the chicken be out as well......

They should be fine if you let them out. If they really don't like the snow they'll hang out in the coop anyways. We just got an inch or two last week and the only ones that were freaking out were the 2 week olds, and once their mama showed them it was okay they actually started having fun.

I'm a new bird owner and apparently I am over sheltering. Ha ha
