Snow Storm

[ggiunta]

Hi All,
This is my first winter with my two Cayugas and we are currently in a very bad snowstorm here in PA. Do you think my girls will be ok? I have bedding and a section in their pen that’s closed off from the elements, but I’m worried about them. What do you think?

I'd say it really depends on a few factors. What direction does the wind usually come in? As long as they can get out of the wind in that area they should be fine. You can always add some extra straw and such for them to cuddle up in.

Keep their coop dry, and they will be fine.

Thank you!! The open part of the pen where the straw is is facing my shed so really there is low wind factor, but this storm is massive so I wanted to be sure and check with you guys.

Yeah then I wouldn't worry. I usually throw extra stray for my own peace of mind even tho they really don't need it.

Looks pretty sheltered.
How many ducks in there?

I only have two for now. Was thinking of getting more next year when I move so we can build a bigger pen and have more space for them. I let them outside in my yard all day so they can run around and only keep them in there at night.

They should cuddle together to keep warm. They are amazingly hardy creatures. Just make sure they have fresh water and unfrozen food.
