Personally, I am a firm believer that they will be fine.
My friend has domestic ducks who permanently live outside, on the lake. And we consistently hit double negatives.

That’s a relief to hear...I’m always worried about duckies in cold weather.

I know I could never leave mine out over night and why make them endure the frigid temps if they have a house they can be in out of the weather. Herding them inside a safe dry house filled with deep shavings is where I want mine to be. And probably most on here want the same for theirs.

Mine go inside with a smorgasbord of pelleted food, dried mealworms, peas, oyster shells, chick grit and more fresh straw that they know what to do with. Lots of clean water.

I go overboard and spoil my beloved pets.

I kept my ducks in their house one day when it didn't go above 2 degrees. They're locked in at night anyway. They have a cozy coop heater on really cold nights, and judging by the poop in front of it the runners have been hanging out by it!

These silly ducks really get to your heart, don’t they.
