Pekin ducklings

[ABC]

We have two ducklings we have had in the kitchen in a nice crate for a week - we clean them twice a day, however very strong smell. How soon can they go out in the pen. We do have an adult Pekin, very sweet but probably will take time to put them together. We also have two adult chickens that have been with our duck for about 6 years.
Thank you

How old are your ducklings and what are your temps over night an daytime? And where will these duckling be if put outside?

I have my ducklings in my chicken coop... they have a 36” kiddie pool in there too and they love it... my chickens are Seramas so they are small. I have one Turken that is huge but it is a big baby only two months old, I also have a Cochin and they all live happily together in the coop. The coop is 12’x12’

Do you hatch your eggs outside?

Do you hatch your eggs outside?

Yes, I have 2 good eggs in the incubator right now... 2 others that it is too soon to tell. With Serama chickens you don’t always get fertile eggs, I wait 10 days then I candle them if I don’t see anything they get tossed...once they hatch they go into the brooder box right there on the table also...then at 6 weeks they meet the family.
