Moved Duckes

[Newchickenguy84]

So I've moved my ducks away from the chickens and turkeys. They are Coming on 3 weeks old this week and moved them into their own coop. But they seem to refuse to go under or near the heat lamp. Should I be worried or let them be?

My ducklings will be 3 weeks old Monday. Some nights they sleep under the warning plate. Some times next to it. And tonight they are sleeping at the opposite end .
I believe they are smart enough to know when to be close or under the heat source.
I also have a thermometer so I can see how warn it is. It was 75 degrees when I locked down for the night.
Its going to get down to 50 degrees to night. So I'm sure when I check on them tomorrow in the morning they will be next to or under their heat source.
Enjoy the new baby's.
I think ducklings are the cutest thing next to black lab puppies .

Ducklings know best what's good for them. If they won't go under the heat lamp, they just not feel cold - assumed that you have not placed a scary looking monster under that lamp… Just keep an eye on them and watch out for lethargic or shivering ducklings.

Ducks don't require as much heat as chicks do. If not using it then don't have it on..
