My 2 ducklings are almost two weeks old. They are in a storage bin in the garage with wood chips and a heat lamp (that isn't on all the time) but it's too small of a home now that they are growing. Can't put them outside until their feathers come in. What should I do?
 
Do you have a crate or something bigger to put them in? Otherwise you should put them outside.
 
Make a bigger brooder? You can tape cardboard boxes together, if you can't find a big enough box. They will double their size every week, in case you didn't know that.
 
Dog playpen, those pop up kinds work awesome they usually even have a mesh top so you don't have to worry about escapes or sky predators.You will still have to bring them inside at night the playpens won't hold up to serious predators .
