Safe outside temperature

[Kaira89]

I was wondering with the outside temperature if I could take my ducklings outside for a few hours. I live in texas and temperature is regular over 85f now. I'm not planning on leaving them outside over night yet.

They have yet to meet their parents. I had to take the eggs cause the kept disappearing. I want to slowly introduce them. Mom and dad wander around my backyard. I was thinking about putting them into a rabbit cage and putting them outside for a couple hours. I want them to be as safe as possible

Absolutely, in fact, they can go out permanently in a brooder with optional heat.

I may have to wait for them to go out permanently. Mom got SUPER aggressive with them. Like grabbing them and shaking them.

I'm going to have them on my patio table when they're outside so she can get used to the noises

Make sure they have shade and water. They will not get cold, but they could get to warm.

My patio is covered. Where I have them it stays shaded.
