I hope your run does not sustain any more damage and that you can keep your duck babies safe until repaired. Mine so far has held up well with the snowstorm here in Maryland. The ducks are having a good time playing in the little bit of snow in the uncovered part of their run.

@Duckiemom524 how are things today?

We are having a snow storm here with heavy wet snow. I have been shoveling snow off top of top of the run so it does cave in. However now a tree fell on top not only scaring my two perkin ducks but putting a hole in the wire on top of run. I have covered it with tarp and something to hold it down but if more fall (which is highly possible) it may destroy my run. I can’t let duck have free range because of trees falling but also predators around. If I have to bring them inside what will it do to them with the extreme temp changes from outside to inside? So far the duckhouse attaches to their run is not damaged but I can’t lock them in it all the time. Any thoughts or suggestions?

Garage or just quickly cover it till you can fix it...

Sorry for the delay somehow my notifications were not emailed. It’s still snowy and cold so haven’t had a chance to do permanent repairs but they are fixed for now so they are safe from predators. However we have ice tonight and another big snow storm coming Friday/ Saturday. I’m hoping no damage or my babies are coming in.

Glad to hear you all are okay . Stay safe and keep those babies safe.

Today I went out to add more straw to their house and I found an egg. I was so excited. It’s the first egg we have had. No clue what to do with it but that will be another thread as I’m clueless and learning as I go. I didn’t think my girls would lay eggs in the winter especially being only about 5 months old

Eat it they are yummy. Congrats on that first egg.
