7 weeks old duckling swimming water temp

[Jackanddianesmom]

it's warm outside and we have a kiddie pool set up for the ducklings but the water isn't getting very warm, they are 7 weeks old, would the water be too cold for them? I was giving them warm baths inside but figured since it was nice out try for outside?

They get their oil glands at around 4 weeks old and adult feathers should be starting to come in soon so I'd say it would be ok for a while. Just be sure to get them dry and warm, and keep close watch on them while in it and afterwards. Unless the water is really cold that is. If you have it out in the sun that'll warm it up. Can you send pictures??

We left a little water in about2 inches, in the sun, they are almost fully feathered
