Can i take duck outside?

[DuckOwnerAila]

Hello, my peking ducklings are bit over a week, i want to take them outside to play. I live North in Norway and its like 14-16+ here. Is it too cold?

I would suggest waiting until they've feathered out a bit more. I generally keep them inside for 3 weeks or at least 22c or so. While inside they are probably ready for their first swim--but make sure they're dried off really well an go back under the heat. Don't keep them in the water too long either.

Warm water for swimming. @DuckOwnerAila

On warm sunny days you can take them outside....I always do....Just don't leave them outside....I have week old Call Ducklings that on nice days I put them and Momma out into their outdoor pen and they swim in shallow water with Momma...They never get too cold....Do what you want to do...They will have lots of fun...
