7 week Muscovy temp?

[PolarBerry]

Just brought home a dozen 6-7 week old Muscovy ducklings. Tonight it drops to mid 50’s so I’m not too concerned but later this week it’s dropping to 42. The person I got them from says they’ve never been on heat (Mother brooded, free range and on a pond) and shouldn’t need supplemental heat since I have more than 2-3 of them. If I give a box/tote with deep shavings they can pile in, that should be sufficient with a dozen and their body heat, correct?

6-7 weeks old they should be fine. Love to see some pics

Just used to my turkeys that didn’t appreciate our damp fall and needed heat until 8 or so weeks. They’re loving the dewy grass and of course their water pan.

Only picture I have so far. Going by size I think there’s at least 3 boys. Mostly brown and black ones with 2 white.
