Thanks, Also i live in NS, canada so have colder winters (the coldest week getting down to -30 range), do you think they would be able to stand these low temps?
Yes they will need moderate protection form those types of temps, nothing major, they are pretty tuff, not as sensitive to cold as tree ducks are, but they will need an indoor (barn) style enclosure for the worst of your winters. My Minnesota breeding buddies all have to put their up in the winter along with their other tropical species, all other non tropical species handle any amount of cold just fine
OK, for planing sakes right now, how big would a pen/coop have to be for one pair? In the winter we let the ducks out on the good days would this be fine, normal days are -5 to -10? thanks so much
