[QUOTE="snaphappy, post: 129246, member: 12198"] Tracsoft have you used a goose down duvet? If you ever get a chance to dig your fingers inside a gooses feathers go for it (just make sure its held REAL tight LOL them wings are brutal!). The layers and layers of feathers are amazing and they LOVE this time of year. These girls are 3yrs old now and the male 2yrs. The first year I had the girls and the ducks in an insulated coop with a sheltered run and they hated it. I'd go out and it'd be -35-39 and I'd shoo them into the coop and out they come to lay on the ice. In the summer I worry more about heat and have kiddie pools all over the yard for them to splash in and cool off. We have many many wild Mallards that live year round here which is amazing to me they are able to feed themselves. My ducks and geese are very well fed and have shelters if they want to get out of wind etc so they do very well even in our arctic like weather :) Nikonpup canadian geese are smaller than these guys :) And if you seen what they do to their water in seconds you would not want any of that Bwahahaha Thanx Roy1961 I had my 70-300mm lens on for those pics and I was too close so even at 70mm I cropped his lovely wings :( More to learn and I'm sure I'll get more chances to try again. WHite on white is hard so looking forward to white on green :) [/QUOTE]
