Just got ducklings!

[Madhouse Pullet]

I ordered 2 cayuga female ducklings from My Pet Chicken (I was scared they were a scam) and I picked them up early yesterday morning from the post office. They seem scared but I made sure they were hydrated, and they've been doing good since.
Then my light bulb went out and the temp dropped to 80 I couldn't get to the store so I ended up using the snake's heat lamp until I could.

They are definitely wiggle worms compared to my chicks! I had a hard time holding them
This was the best picture I could get.

How are they doing?

 

[RJKnott]

They are doing great. Healthy and growing big. Aside from a quick bout of angel wing in one that was easy to fix. I’d totally get more from them in the future

 

[Madhouse Pullet]

I agree, and they were shipped quickly!

They're still very terrified of me but one is beginning to be less skittish. I'll definitely add more pictures soon.

I also was curious, what age can they go outside to forage during the day?

 

[Stipenvlerk]

mine did go out almost from the start as i worked from home a lot and they did like to stay somewhere around me.
Laptop outside , water and food on the floor and they went on causing trouble
but now they are almost two weeks outside during the day. Free ranging. They will become 7 weeks this friday
