Hello,
I have never used this site before and I have never owned a duck before today. My boyfriend brought me 3 1 week old aylesbury ducklings from a farmers auction this morning and my dad kicked off about them being inside. I have currently got them living in a cage which I was told was okay by a pet shop, but they are living my my outhouse. I am really concerned that this is too cold for my ducklings and I am starting to panic. I have put sawdust in there for them, hay and a blanket. They also have 3 blankets tucked ontop and around their cage to prevent heat loss. The door on the outhouse is closed but will they be warm enough? Or will they be okay just for tonight til I can find them somewhere warmer....
I have grown to the ducklings already they are like my babies haha and I am really hoping they are not freezing so much so that I am tempted to go out there and sit with them all night if I have too. My parents feel this will be okay for them but I'm scared as they are so young.
Please could someone help me out as soon as possible as if it is to cold, I will have to beg and plead for them to be let inside just for tonight.
Thank you
