6 week old ducks

[Cluck_cluck_chic]

My ducks are 6 weeks old and completely off heat. Tonight is their first night outside but the low temp is going to be 46. Will that be too cold for them?

My 4-5 week old ducks have been off heat for a while now, and all they want to do in the morning is jump in some cold water and get sprayed with the hose... If that helps.
I live in Michigan with 40s overnight.

How much are they feathered in? I think they will be fine as long as they have a wind breaker and a area to go in with bedding….

They have most of their feathers. Just a few down on their bum and head. They have a coop and lots of comfy bedding straw/wood chips

My ducks are 6 or 7 weeks and I just got them outside last week. We are in Rhode Island, so it is beautiful one day and iffy the next. But they have been so much happier outside! They have a duck house with lots of bedding and they all huddle up at night. They all seem to stay warm.

We are outside now but haven’t had a night outside yet!
