Duckling outside tips

[GerobakAyam]

It is beautiful outside in Seattle,WA.
I am thinking to bring the 9 days ducklings to hang outside. Weather reading is 55F wind 3mph. I have the brooder plate available too. Is it okay to leave them hanging outside whole afternoon?

9 days old I wouldn’t leave them out all afternoon Maybe 30 min tops 55 might feel warm to us but they only have down to keep them warm.

None day old ducklings need to be kept at 80F or above. A short period of fresh air at 55F wont harm but they must be out of the breeze. 15 day old ducklings are ok at 75f and above
