    Pekin ducklings outside, how soon?

    We will have Pekin ducklings hatch in the next couple of days. What is the absolute earliest time I can put them outside in the chicken coop (no chicken, it’s empty)? Our average temperatures are highs around 95 and lows around 78. We have plenty of shade.
