Most of the time our 9 ducks don't mind winter, even a foot of new snow doesn't phase them. The chickens on the other hand will not step out of the covered run until I make them paths through the snow. Today though the ducks didn't want anything to do with staying out in the new snow that had fallen overnight. The ducks are getting up their in age with most being 4-5 years old while a couple are still around 3 1/2. Having said that the duck flock is still very healthy, despite being older and hopefully will get back to laying eggs in the spring. Our duck flock consists of mostly Khaki Campbells and also 1 Black Swedish duck, 2 Rouen ducks and a mix or two. This video is from coop opening time this morning. The ducks happily exited the coop area, saw all the newly fallen snow and ....well changed their mind about winter this day!
