The change to colder weather in the last few days has been noted by the Ducklings, they take to the indoor coop by late afternoon. Their first real feathers are just starting to come through, but in frosty weather they do feel the cold ! The heat lamp in the coop is only 60w but enough to keep them cosy when closed and huddled together. I'm glad they got a few mild days to get partially acclimatised before the cold set in. This morning their bath had a film of ice on it, but they still enjoyed the water,( short vid below)
