Video Description Below
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Another freaking brutal Arctic cold front has arrived and this time it's colder than the last one the ducks and I went through and the last time we had two frostbite victims and ended up losing a Muscovy female.
8;00 am and it's -26°C with the wind the weather network says the wind chill is below -35°C I believe it, my face gets numb just going from the house to the barn with the water for the ducks.
This time I started out with the heaters running in the barn and as the day progressed I turned them off to get it colder in the barn so the ducks would slow down on the water consumption, but they still managed to go through over 25 gallons in 12 hours, almost 30 gallons total by the time I went to bed.
Today is nothing but survival mode for the Duck Adventure and getting through this cold snap mother nature is giving us, not a lot of fun action, just surviving.
It baffles my mind no matter how much I'm around the ducks the Pekin & Rouen panic all the time, the pack mentally kicks in and it's a stampede.
A female Pekin got so freaked out when I was pouring food pellets into the tub for them she flew over top of me when I was bent over and landed on the corner of the nesting box behind me and hurt herself.
Unfortunately for her I couldn't do anything for her today because I'm scrambling to take care of the whole flock in this extreme cold, tomorrow I'm going to expand the duck hospital in the house and move here there for observation.
And Ken you're right dirty ducks means lots of mating, and there is lots of mating going on in the barn. ----------------------------------------------
