Winter, new born ducklings following Mumma duck in the cold. Should I keep them warm?

That's cold. I'm thinking if they were mine I would have to brood them myself. If you can't contain Dingus and make sure she is keeping her ducklings warm. Ducklings hatched by a mama duck are pretty hardy but 28* F is too cold if mama isn't keeping them warm. Make sure Dingus has a way to poop away from her nest though.

Yeah, I can't guarantee that she won't still walk them around. We could put a heat lamp in there and lock her in, but then I'd be worried about the babies and water. They have a habit of trying to sit in it. I put a glass in the bowl so there's not much room.
 
Perfect for ducklings even made them for mum, taller so ducklings can’t get in. Bottom pic for ducklings.
