Mine are outside at 2 weeks(gosling is one week) with a heat lamp at night. It's been around 70 during the day/50 at night here. Once it stays above 60 or they hit 5 weeks(just the calls, regular ducks/geese would be 4 weeks) the heat lamp will come off. I booted the last set out at 3 weeks (oddly enough it was warmer then though) and they did fine.
I kicked my pekin babies out at three weeks during a warm spell. They're doing well. Goslings went to bed with the ducks tonight. They're going to have to integrate at some point and they've been spending afternoons outside with the ducks for a while.
QJ or Quackers!! Look here!
Oh, I want those so terribly bad. My birthday is next weekend. Hey HUBBY! 
UPDATE!! Dewlap eggs #1 & #2 have big beautiful external pips. Egg #3 (my wonky one) is hitting the shell hard. #4 & #5 are moving strong too. 
. If it was a kid it would have had it's shock collar on 
Hi all,
I have a goose internally pipped.
My quail laid their first egg! 
I move some feathered babies outside, so now when i walk in the garage, I don't want to do this. 
One of my lovely anconas is trying to quack. I got a laugh today, and ya'll know the newbie quack I'm talking about, part duck call, part old person laugh, part bugle. I was very proud.
My pekins still aren't talking in their adult voices. They've got this wheezy-honky-awkward sound.
i think a rooster learning to crow is equally funny.
but even funnier is a goose learning to honk.
then they look startled and embarassed about the sound
Hubby was outside today talking to the goslings with his goose call. That was darn funny. Maybe that's why they prefer us to the ducks. Because they think we speak their language.
Another Storm 
No fun. Be safe.
And I sold a Saxony drake. Woo Hoo!
My toulouse has an external pip tonight! He was talking up a storm through his little hole when I was turning goose eggs.
