1.5 week old ducklings outside

[chickens really]

I would put them outside and see how it goes. If cold they will let you know.

I just clamp the brooder light to the side and they are good to go. I still want one of the warmer plates, but as I already have the light I'll keep using it till I can get the heating plate. Maybe when my kids stop costing me so much money lol.

I'm in the same boat here, i bought some cheap parts and build a Momma Heat Cave for my spring ducklings. It worked very good and the 'lings loved it from the first day.
