When to put my ducks out

[Donnaduck]

Currently I have 8 ducks in the garage. They have doubled in size from this pick. I was just wondering if someone could tell me if they are old enough to be outside near the pond. And what sort of shelter do they need. This pic is at least 2- weeks old maybe 3

When they are fully feathered.

What kind of a shelter will they need ?? Would a dog house type structure work ??

I don't know much about ducks, your questions would best be answered by folks on the "Duck thread." put that in the above search box and it will come up for you.

Yes it would work perfectly.
