It all depends on how old they are? If they are only a few days old then I would stick to 90-85 at night. I have not had ducks yet but think they are similar to chickens

How old are we talking? Day olds, week olds, 2, 3, 4weeks?

They're only 1 week old right now but I plan on moving them out around 4 weeks old.

I would say 85 is a good temperature a little less is fine

I use the following:

Heat
Ducklings need a brooder that is about 90° for the first week and then the temperature should be lowered by 5° each week afterwards. Once the temperature in the brooder is the same as the environment (inside or outside) the heat source can be removed. A thermometer is a great investment for someone new to brooding. The heat lamp should be placed so that the ducklings can get away from the heat if needed. Overheating is just as dangerous as chilling for ducklings.
Feeders and waterers should be placed at the perimeter of the heat source. Ducklings may not go to eat and drink if the area is too hot or too cold.

Somehow I didn't see your post. They're currently 1 week old but I plan on moving them out at 4 weeks old.

I would say the 85 mark as well. Even a little less.
