I have a question and I know it's been asked probably before but I can't find it anywhere. I have 14 ducks. 2 Pekins that are a little over 3 weeks old and 12 mallards that are a little over 2 weeks old. Right now they are in our garage in their brooder with a heat lamp. We are having my sons birthday party here on Saturday and I need the room to set up tables in the garage. I'm wondering if I can put them out in their run (they haven't been introduced yet) for the night with a heat lamp and them be ok? It's supposed to be 43 degrees Saturday night.
Hens go broody when you don’t want them to… and won’t go broody when you do.
