Ducks on Ice

After several nights of temperature dropping below freezing, the duck water finally froze. Here is a compilation of their attempts to break the ice. Enjoy the humorous reaction our flock has to the icy bathwater.

If you have chicken or duck questions, I suggest going to the http://www.backyardchickens.com forum first. They have a lot of helpful people there.

@unknownsanta84 I got them from a neighbor, Jack Long at creeksidebirds. Thanks for the comment.

@andysim232 Thanks! They have two pools.  The one in their run was always full of fresh unfrozen water. Still when they were out and running about, they kept checking on the other pool.

So cute! They look so bewildered when they landed on the ice, but so happy when they finally broke through!

@RockUgud At that time, he was the youngest and the last in the pecking order. The other male and a couple of the older hens would have kicked him out.

Why does that last green duck never finds his way up the ramp?
