At what age can the ducklings move into their coop?

Update!
My 4 newbies have transitioned VERY well into the backyard "fowl haven"!!! The other 6 adult ducks accepted them straight away! Not a protest one! I secure them into the lean to at night, there's lots of straw, food and water in there for them, and turn them out in the morning to hang out with everyone else! NOW, my two yearling Pomeranian geese are a LIL different, they are not sure about the newbies. Darla discovered the newbies at the community drinking area, stretched her neck out.....WHONKED real loud, turned and with wings spread, ran out of the yard to go tell clydette ALL about it! It was rather hilarious! They are separated for the time being.....darla and Clyde are much larger than my 4 newbies.....(3 rouens and a runner) so I'll keep them apart until the LIL guys get some more size and confidence!
Thank you to those who bothered to respond to my silly post. I appreciate it!
I'm anxious to share photos soon!

Ducks moved into their new outdoor digs today, they had a great time.........so this will be their first night outside.

We've been turning their heat lamp off at night for the last few days and they did fine.


They were just getting too large to keep in the garage any longer and the Peking's started biting the other duck and drawing blood (I'm thinking because the space was just too small0.
