Muscovy duckling

If he has feathers on his stomach then he will start to feather out all over. I find the longer birds are inside the slower their feathers grow in. I used to think it was the amount of heat they got inside which honestly I think is partially true but now I also think the sun has a part to play even if it’s colder out. So now birds go out just as soon as feathers are mostly in. What are the daytime /nighttime temps where you are right now?

Fantastic, thank you. It’s getting to about 18 Celsius at night and 24 during the day. They are inside over night but spend all day outside
