I have 7, 15 day old ducklings
And i was curious as what low temps can they take?
I would like to move them into the inclosed coop with the MHP they have but want to make sure that they can take our temps here first. I have only raised ducklings in the spring so not sure on what they can handle when it comes to the cooler weather.

These are the temps where i live for the week.
I know they are nothing like more northern places but could still be too cold for the ducklings???
Thanks in advance for any information!!

 
Your ducklings should be fine, although I always use a heat lamp. As long as they have plenty of bedding, and aren't swimming in those temps, they'll be okay.

Lol no swimming for them unattended or outside yet.
I may give it a try and see how they do. If its too cold at night i will bring them in for the night
Thanks.
