Ducks- what age to be outside

[mmizell]

What age do my ducklings need to be before they can be moved outside.. They will have protection from the weather plus a red heat lamp.

where are you located and how warm or cold is it

typically i just give them a week or two after they are fully feathered and then kick them out, if they are protected from the elements they should be ok
