What shelter should I build for my two Pekins? The low right now where I am ranges from 50s to 60s at night which is considerably chilly for my Floridian self. What temperatures can my ducks tolerate before they require intervention like me bringing them inside or on the lanai? What shelter...
Thanks again everyone for the advice! I figured out a routine that seems to work well for them. Whenever they get loud in the morning I go out to the yard armed with breakfast and a hose to make a mud puddle. I toss breakfast (mainly just their favorite veggies, I have yet to speak to their vet...

Hi y'all, new to BYC so be patient with me. I'm moving from Tampa, FL to Ft. Bragg, NC relatively soon and need advice on how to transport my 3 Pekins. I recently adopted them -- about 3 weeks ago -- I'm guessing they're about 6 months, the rescue group I adopted them from didn't know so that...
