Oh no! I’m sorry to hear about stake. :(
I still see Sally, Missy, Chad, and wingstone on fb. Blarney, heatherscooby, troyer, ladyhawk are members of the poultry club, so I see them regularly!
You should stop by the poultry show in the fall!! Even if you don’t show, there is plenty to do...
I use an aerator in my small fish pond to keep the water from freezing. The stock tank heaters suck up so much electricity. So far, I only had to break a small dome of ice that formed over top during those sub-zero temps. I'm not sure if there is any way to incorporate them into your set-up...
Glad they arrived safe & sound! Nothing like a box of ducklings arriving via mail! (well, except maybe a brooder full of sebastopol goslings! :) Although, you are much braver than I, my box is scheduled to arrive in April!
