First time duckling owner here...I am so shocked at the feel of their fuzz! It's nothing like chick fuzz, which is so silky. The closest thing I can compare it to is like a rough fleece, or maybe felt...so bizarre!
It would be a big mess to clean up, but go ahead and put some water in a cake pan for them to play in as long as they can dry quickly and not chill, What I'd do though is let them have tub time daily that way less mess in the brooder and you don't have to worry about them chilling.Our weather is still crazy (Montana)...20-30s at night, 30s-40s during the day, sometimes higher. I'm not looking to let them play outside, really. Just wondering about a cakepan of water in their brooder, to give them something to do. They'll likely stay in their brooder for several weeks, simply because of weather, although when they're better feathered they might get some sporadic outside time. I'm awful glad our new chicks have a mama hen to figure out their warmth for them.
