Hi everyone, I am a proud new mom of six Pekin ducks. My husband and I live in Colorado where winters are harsh. We built a suitable shelter for the ducks and put them outside yesterday at a little over five weeks old. It is Mothers Day here today and the temperature dropped down to the lower 40s. Is it okay that I placed the heat lamp from their brooder in their new home with them? Can it be left on in there all of the time or will that cause issues? Also, is it bad to visit them and give them treats at night? I do not want to attract predators.....
