Five weeks old, low of 55°

[Velarisduckmom]

Hi all! My newest babies will be five weeks old next week and I was planning on moving them outside for good. High 70s, low 80s during the day and low of 55° at night. They'll be in a draft free little house.

Do you think they'll be fine? They are in a 60°ish degree garage at night currently, with no heat. I haven't had ducks this early in the season before!

Oh yes, as long as they're mostly feathered out, they should be fine. If they're still pretty fuzzy, then I'd maybe worry a bit.

We've got a few Cozy Coop radiant heaters so if I doubted it, I'd put one of those in their house.

Thank you! They are already about half feathered. I imagine in a week they'll be just fine!
