All advice for raising ducklings please

The ducklings are 3-5 days old. I read up on how to let them swim. But I do have a question it is 80* out today. Can I let them swim outside or should I do it in the house?

Id let them outside at that temperature. With supervision but I know you know that.

And we will need pics. Lots and lots of pics.

oh I candled the other end of the egg and there are some big veins down there still. ho hummm Think this one will feel even longer because it has been opened for so long! and because it is so late! thinking tomorrow or possibly Thurs for hatch which puts it at day 31-33.

I would just let him continue to absorb
No rush
He has air to breath
Keep humidity much higher then usual

Will post pics in a bit. Not the best because of the sun but they loved it!!!! One had zero desire to come out and was just sitting in there but was starting to fall asleep so we made it get out. Lol. Then they all slept in the sun and grass

@New duck mommy 2021 the baby in the egg I think has pushed some if not all the membrane from the open part of the egg off. I can see I am guessing a wing that will come out in front of it's bill against the syran wrap. Do I still leave the wrap on there? Should I make it a bit tighter so it doesn't wiggle out before everything is absorbed. Or put it in a cup???

A few of the pics I got. I am hoping my daughter got some better ones and I still need to upload some videos. I just brought a bowl of water out at first so they had a drink, no lid. They got impatient waiting for a bigger one to swim in.

Hopefully New duck mommy is on her way. Aren't they adorable. Such pretty colors.

I am so in love!!! I love how each of the 3 black and 3 blue are different. The 3 yellows I can't tell apart.

One of the little black and yellow ones kept diving under all the others. Lol. It was the cutest thing ever!!!
