Link didn't work for me-sent me to my own mailbox but that's ok. Maybe come spring we here can plan a meet and swap.
Did everyone make it through that storm okay? I lost part of the top on my pen and for a while wasn't sure if the pen was going to stand. Poor gals were all huddled in the nest boxes together. We received an inch and 4/10s rain and I watched it leave 6 tenths of that in less than 15 minutes. And now it's 39 degrees out here, I hope this isn't the new normal.
 
We made it through pretty well here. The ducks love the fact that the run looks like a swamp and there are multiple mini ponds all over the yard. The chickens, however, look like they're plotting my death.....
 
Same here- I just love ducks, something inspirational about how a stormy, rainy day is their absolute heaven. It kinda warms my heart to watch them enjoy the biggest storms. :)
 
Mine have a pond about 100 yards from their coop/pen but if they are here in the yard they will come to the hose if you are washing the vehicle or watering plants. This past summer I laughed at my hubby-he was trying to wash his truck and the ducks were going round and round it splashing the little puddles/ He thought he could run them off if he sprayed them but they enjoyed that more than the puddles!
 
How cute! Mine haven't done that, I play with them with the hose when they're ducklings but they don't seem to remember lol.

Mine have a pond and hardly leave it except to eat with the horse in the evenings, lol. Even when the pond is frozen solid, they have a small warm spot where they stay and keep that spot from freezing. Brrr. It kills me but they have free will to sleep in deep bedding at the barn. They choose ice. :/

My two drakes last week.. You can see Mama Duck over by the tree, the "warm" swimming hole is just behind her. Silly ducks.

What a beautiful picture! Love your ducks. It took me a while to figure out they are happy in the conditions that put my chickens in the coop/ mud, ice, rain. Although it would be rough on us I would love to see some snow and see how they respond to it. I have seem pics on here where the ducks look to be enjoying it too.
 
Thank you. Yes when we had snow a couple years back it didn't bother them either. "Like water off a duck's back".. ;)
