There is always fresh water running in and out of their pond and the ducks are always messing around in the water so most days it stays thawed out just fine, but tonight it is supposed to get down to about 15 degrees, so I turned on the stock tank heater.
One winter a duck got frozen to the ground....it's true! The ducks are always splashing around in the pond, ans a duck sat down beside the pond and stayed there too long and the splashing water froze him to the ground. I had read about this type of situation and knew what to do...I ran inside and got a watering can of warm water and ran back outside and started to pour it over the duck...eventually he worked his way loose and waddled away indignantly. I feel like I have already told this story on the blog before, but it never stops being funny to me!
Can you spot the two males? One of them is Lucky....the one on the left...just one of the gang!
