At what age can I leave my ducklings out all night in duck house?

We got our little ducklings 6 weeks ago. They were tiny - small enough to hold one and half ducklings in one hand. So we are (wild) guessing they were about a week old when we got them. They have lots of feathers now and are crazy big compared to 6 weeks ago. We live in SC so it is usually warm this time of year but tomorrow night it will get down to 40 degrees F. The duck house is solid wood from bottom to above their heads, then hardware cloth above that to the roof. They have been outside for the last 2 nights and as far as I know they did not mind it. Last night we had a horrible, surprise storm come up and the inside of the house did not get wet at all.

If they are 6-7 weeks old, should they be fine in 40 degrees? There are 4 of them to keep each other warm.
