We have two Pekins, now about 9 weeks old.

We live in Canberra where it drops below 0 (celcius) degrees (32F). With the wind, apparent temp can be up to -5 degrees (23F).
The ducks have a medium sized dog kennel, and can go into a semi sealed area underneath the pond construction (see link) to get out of the wind.
Should I get them a heat mat for the kennel as well?
It won't be cold for a few more months, but I was going to do some landscaping and trench a low voltage power cord (shielded in poly or copper piping) for the matt into their pen
