Good question, it's cooled off so much at night I don't think I will. They have a pen in my office that will work well. On the weekends since I'm home they can go out into a pen with mom to see how she reacts to them. She is not the best mom but she's never hatched before. I could put them with Hershey or Babette during the day too, they have mommy duck experience.

R u going to keep them all? I think u should just sell some now if ur not. Most people want them as ducklings or sexed pairs.

I definitely have to let ducks go, I now have way to many of them. I wouldn't know what sex they are until they start laying or ...... well you know. I'll probably go up to the feedstore and see if they need any first, they buy them from me regularly. Unfortunately I lost a baby during the night. Even though in my office they have a heat lamp I think they bunched up and smothered one.
